Hello colleagues,
Here is the following link:

The issue isn't the translation of the gem but rather the 40/10ème. I believe it refers to the Total Carat Weight, but is anyone sure of how to correctly convert / precise measurement for this?
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!

Here is one site that mentions 100ths in connection with carats:
Guide sur le Poids en Carat des Diamants - Zoara
www.zoara.fr › Diamants
Un carat égal 100 points; par conséquent, on peut se référer à un diamant de 0.25 carat comme à un diamant de 25 points. 0.25 .... 4.00 ct / 400 points / 4 carats.
I'm sure the same holds true for other precious stones.

Always a pleasure to see you on Proz.
I did research previously, but no other sites seem to implement 40/10eme. It is plausible to have 4 carat garnets, but curious know if this term is the actual measurement that should be applied...or if it is referring to something else that I/we am/are not aware of.
I don't have any problems opening the link but I'll repost:
https://www.milligram.fr/fr/e-shop/67-bague-in-the-air-or-ja...
However, not being a specialist in the field, I couldn't tell you if a 4-carat garnet is even plausible! Note that gold is expressed in 1000èmes, so 750/1000èmes = 18-carat gold. Don't know if that is in any way relevant here!
By the way, don't know if it's just me, but I couldn't get your link above to open for me.
Well yes, apparently you can get rings with 4-carat garnets, so it sounds plausible after all.
