1 Carat Pearl (Moti)

1 Carat Pearl (Moti) is a gemstone that weighs 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). While most modern cultured pearl gemstones are measured by their diameter in millimeters (mm), natural pearls are often valued by weight in carats or pearl grains (where 1 carat equals 4 grains). In India, the price of a natural pearl can start from around INR 1,000 to INR 2,00,000 per carat for rare varieties such as Basra pearls, depending on quality, luster, size, and origin.
