Education-First Approach to Fine Jewelry

XRF Analysis

Advanced spectroscopy revealing elemental composition. We discuss what this analysis tells us about your gemstone.

Nitric Acid Test

Classic chemical verification method. We demonstrate (safely) how jewelers have verified authenticity for generations.
