Catherine K had half the answer.
C refers to diamonds and other precious stones; it is a unit of weight. 2 Carats is always more than 1 Carat. A very heavy stone can be 100 Carats.
K refers to precious metals and is a measure of purity of the primary metal (gold); 28 Karat gold is nearly pure (as pure as one can expect). 24 Karat contains a proportion in the final alloy or blend of 24/28 of pure.

The difference is nothing more that the difference between English and American spelling of the same word. The English is Carat by the way.

Literally, carat refers to diamonds or other gems, karat refers to gold and metals. Otherwise, the difference is the k and the c.
