Precision Jewelry, Watchmaking & Numismatics

Inspection of gemstones, settings, watch mechanisms, fine metalwork, and collectible coins for authentication and condition assessment.

Precision jewelry and watchmaking require visualization tools capable of revealing microscopic details. Smart G-Scope provides artisans, gemologists, and watchmakers with a versatile solution to inspect settings, soldering, mechanisms, and gemstones.

It can help evaluate gemstone quality, detect inclusions, verify setting integrity, and document restoration work with high-resolution images that can be shared with clients or insurers.

In watchmaking, it supports inspection of gears, pivots, springs, and tiny components for fault diagnosis and repair quality control.

Smart G-Scope is also well suited for numismatics and collectibles: it helps examine mint marks, micro-scratches, edge details, surface texture, patina, and tool marks that can indicate cleaning, wear, or counterfeiting. High-resolution photo/video capture supports grading, sales listings, and documentation for provenance.

Practical examples

Diamond documentation for certification

A gemologist uses Smart G-Scope to document a diamond’s inclusions before issuing a certificate, capturing images that accompany the report and ensure traceability.

Vintage watch diagnosis

A watchmaker inspects the escapement of an antique pocket watch, identifying wear on escape wheel teeth that explains timekeeping drift, and documents the repair for the client.

Coin authentication and condition grading

A collector examines mint marks, edge reeding, and micro-scratches on a collectible coin to assess condition and detect suspicious tooling or surface alterations before purchase or sale.

Limitations & best practices

  • For advanced gemology, complement with a refractometer and spectroscope.
  • Handle parts with gloves to avoid marks and contamination.
  • Adjust lighting depending on reflectance of metals and gemstones.
  • Highly reflective coin surfaces or protective slabs may require angle/lighting adjustments to avoid glare and reveal texture accurately.
