Why CT Helps Jewelers
Jewelry can hide replaced stones, internal fractures, or counterfeit settings. CT imaging reveals gemstone density, internal inclusions, and metal structure. It can detect glued stones, hidden cracks, or altered prongs.
Detecting Counterfeits
CT exposes density inconsistencies caused by synthetic stones or added materials.
Preserving Jewelry Value
Collectors can authenticate pieces without removing stones or opening settings.
Growing Use in High End Jewelry
Auction houses increasingly use CT for premium jewelry authentication.
