I think that may have got mixed up with this questions. Sovereigns were a unit on currency .. �1.1s.0d and Carat is used to show the weight of a precious stone. So its not possible to convert one to the other.

My brain wasn't it gear last night so I have a correction: a sovereign was not worth �1.1s (that was Guinea). A sovereign was a gold coin that was originally worth �1.00.

If you want to be able to convert old jewellery weights, such as pennyweights, tory ounces, grains, to grams or carats, you should see:- http://www.24carat.co.uk/weights.html Guineas were not always 21 shillings, they started life as �1 coins, look at :- http://www.goldsovereigns.co.uk/uniteandguineas.html
