Portable Jewelry Scale FAQ
Still wondering if a portable scale is right for your jewelry business? Check out some common questions and answers. And as always, feel free to contact our team for help choosing the best model.
Are Portable Jewelry Scales as Accurate as Larger Models?
Many portable jewelry scales are highly accurate, with resolutions as fine as 0.01g or even 0.001g. While they may not match the ultra-high precision of some benchtop lab scales, they are more than adequate for most professional jewelry tasks.
Can I Use a Portable Scale for Gold and Diamonds?
Yes. Most portable scales offer multi-unit measurement support — including grams, carats, ounces, and pennyweights — making them perfect for weighing gold, gemstones, and other precious items.
How Do I Protect My Portable Scale While Traveling?
Choose a scale with a hard shell case or protective cover. Many models include one by default. It's also a good idea to remove batteries during long periods of non-use and store the scale in a padded compartment to prevent damage.
Do Portable Jewelry Scales Need Calibration?
Yes. Regular calibration helps maintain accuracy. Most models allow for easy on-the-go calibration using standard weights, which we also offer at Scales Galore.
