Units explained
Gram
The gram (g) equals one-thousandth of a kilogram.
From Late Latin 'gramma', a small weight or scruple.
The everyday metric unit for food, medicine, and small objects.
Defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at melting point.
Point (1/100 carat)
A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.
A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.
The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.
Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

Example 2 — Convert 100 g to pt:
100 × 500 = 50000 pt
Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision
One gram equals 1,000 points (1/100 carat) — the standard sub-millimeter precision conversion that materials engineers use whenever they switch between bulk material thickness specs (larger unit) and surface-finish characteristics (smaller unit).
1 g × 500 = 500 pt
Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units
One gram equals 1,000 points (1/100 carat). Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.
1 g × 500 = 500 pt
