Jewel units (6)

I believe the answer is:

carats

(Other definitions for carats that I've seen before include "Weights of gold" , "They're used to measure gems and express purity of gold" , "Jewellers measure" , "Units of weight of precious stones" , "Units of weight of diamonds" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
