Sue,

    "CT. T.W." means carat total weight. They might be diamonds but I
    doubt that you would want to use them just because they are
    diamonds. These types of diamonds are often described as
    "promotional". They are not anything that most people would want to
    use. It is hard to say it any other way, they are garbage. I always
    get a laugh out of seeing advertisements for jewelry using this type
    of diamond. These advertisements are usually from department stores
    and other mass marketers of low end junk. My advice is to buy your
    diamonds from a reputable dealer.
