Questions
Does the setting tell you if the stone is real?
No. Valuable stones appear in modest settings and imitations appear in precious metal. We assess the stone and the setting separately.
Should I remove the stone?
Not for a photo scan. Unmounting risks damage; a jeweller or laboratory can test many mounted stones.
When should I use the gemstone identifier instead?
Use the detailed gemstone identifier for loose, rough or cut stones where you can photograph every side.
Should I scratch, heat or apply acid to test it?
No. Destructive home tests can damage the item and still mislead. Record what you can see and seek qualified testing when the answer matters.
