How to Identify Jewelry
Three quick steps to an instant, AI-powered identification.
Photograph the whole piece plus close-ups of any stones, settings, and stamped marks. Good light shows metal color and detail.
Our AI reads the design, setting style, stone cuts, and visible marks to estimate the era, style, metal, and gemstone types.
Receive the likely style and period, metal and stone guesses, and where to look for hallmarks — a strong starting point before an appraisal.
Other Ways to Identify Jewelry
Read the Hallmarks
Stamped marks (karat, maker, assay) identify metal and origin. A jeweler's loupe reveals tiny marks a photo may miss.
Professional Appraisal
A certified appraiser confirms metal, stones, and value — essential for insurance or resale of higher-value pieces.
Gemstone Testing
Handheld testers and specific-gravity tests distinguish genuine gems from glass and simulants.
Photo Quality
- ✓Shoot in bright, neutral light to show the true metal color.
- ✓Take a close-up of any stamped marks inside a band or on a clasp.
- ✓Photograph stones straight on to show cut and color.
- ✓Use a plain background so the piece stands out.
Best Practices
- •Include a scale reference for size when it isn't obvious.
- •Capture the setting and prongs — they hint at era and quality.
- •Avoid harsh flash glare on polished metal and gems.
- •Photograph both front and back of the piece.
