Carat to Ratti Calculator

1 Carat equals 1.09375 Ratti. This is a precise conversion ratio used universally in the gemstone industry. So if you have a 5-carat gemstone, it would be approximately 5.47 Ratti.

For astrological purposes, use Ratti as recommended by Vedic astrologers. For international purchases or comparing prices globally, use Carats as it's the standard unit worldwide. Our calculator helps you convert between both seamlessly.

The traditional method is to divide your body weight (in kg) by 10 to 12 to get the recommended Ratti. For example, if you weigh 60kg, a gemstone between 5-6 Ratti (4.5-5.5 carats) would be appropriate. However, always consult a qualified astrologer for personalized recommendations.

Not necessarily. While weight is important for astrological effects, quality factors like clarity, color, and cut are equally crucial. A smaller, high-quality gemstone with good energy is more effective than a larger, flawed stone. Balance size with quality and your budget.

Gemstones have different densities. A 5-carat diamond will appear smaller than a 5-carat emerald because diamond is denser. Carat measures weight, not size. Sapphires and rubies (corundum) are denser than emeralds, so they appear smaller at the same carat weight.

While lighter gemstones may have reduced astrological effects, it's better to wear a lighter, high-quality, natural gemstone than nothing at all. If budget is a concern, prioritize quality over weight. Consult your astrologer for minimum weight recommendations specific to your needs.
