Jewellery Scales for Gold, Silver and Diamonds
In jewellery, a few milligrams are a lot of money. Gold is sold by the gram and priced by purity, diamonds by the carat, and customers watch the display as closely as the jeweller does. A scale that drifts by 10 mg on every sale adds up to real money by the end of a year, and a purity check that’s off can cost far more.
Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has made weighing scales since 1955 and sold more than 2 crore scales to more than 50 lakh customers. For jewellers, bullion dealers, goldsmiths, karigars and assay shops we supply jewellery scales with glass windshields, analytical balances for diamonds and carats, gold density meters and purity scales, pocket precision scales, traditional goldsmith beam balances, and calibration weights. Tell us what you weigh and sell, and we’ll name the scale.

Keeping the counter scale honest
A jewellery scale is only as good as the table it sits on and the check it gets each morning. Keep it on a solid, level counter away from fans and doors, close the windshield for every weighing, and check it daily with a known weight. Scales used for sale must be Legal Metrology stamped, and keeping the stamp current is as important as the reading itself.
Checking purity by density
Gold is heavy, and alloys with less gold are lighter for the same size. A gold density meter weighs the piece in air and in water and works out its density, which indicates its purity. It’s quick and doesn’t damage the piece, which is why jewellers use it as a first check on old gold and bullion.
