Nah, Rebelbase is just a bad speller.

Try it this way and you might get it:

"One carrot. Cheap ring."

PS, "Karat is the designation for the purity of Gold content in alloy with 24 Karat being 100% pure gold with no other metal, while a "Carat" is the measure of weight for precious stones equivalent to 200 milligrams. A "Carrot" is a root vegetable. GRIN.

““One karat. Cheap ring.” I certainly hope you are kidding.”

gold purity is measured in karats [usually from 9 up to 24kt].

gemstones such as a diamond are measured in carat [ct] weight.
