Jewelry & Pawn
For precious metals and gems, precision weighing is essential for maximizing profits and maintaining consumer trust.
Jewelers and pawn shops rely on scales as a critical part of evaluating and pricing items. These businesses often deal with precious metals and gemstones like gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds, where value is closely tied to weight. When a customer brings in jewelry or other valuable items, the scale helps determine how much the metal is worth based on its weight and the current market price. For example, a gold ring or necklace is weighed to calculate its value per gram or ounce, which allows the jeweler or pawnbroker to make an accurate offer.
There are a variety of NTEP-certified gram scales available from Scales Plus, which are specifically designed for use in transactional applications where product value is determined by weight. The scales used in these settings are highly sensitive and precise, able to measure down to hundredths and thousandths of a gram. This level of precision is important because even a small difference in weight can significantly change an item's value.
