FAQs

What is a jeweller's scale?

A jeweller's scale is a precision device designed to accurately measure the weight of small items such as gemstones, metal and jewellery pieces. These scales are essential in the jewellery industry for valuing materials based on weight and for ensuring that the specifications of a piece, such as gold content, are accurate.

 

What unit of measurement is jewellery weighed in?

Jewellery and its components are typically weighed in carats (for gemstones) and grams or ounces (for metals). Precision is crucial, so it's important to use gauges and scales that can measure small weight increments accurately.

Many of our scales are designed for jewellers to switch between different units of measurement, providing flexibility and accuracy, whether assessing a large necklace or a tiny earring.

 

How do you weigh jewellery on a scale?

Weighing jewellery on a scale involves a few careful steps to guarantee accuracy:

  1. Calibrate the scale — Ensure the scale is calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain accuracy.
  2. Tare the scale — If using a container or pad to hold the jewellery, first place the container on the scale and use the 'tare' function to reset the scale to zero, assuring the weight of the container is not included in the final measurement.
  3. Gently place the jewellery on the scale — If it’s a chain or a piece that could move, make sure it’s settled and not touching anything but the scale.
