How It Works
Step 1: Upload Your Design
Supported inputs:
- AI-generated jewelry designs
- Photos of existing pieces
- 3D rendered images
- Reference photographs
Best results with:
- Clear, well-lit images
- Visible gemstones and metal areas
- High resolution for small details
- Clean backgrounds
Step 2: Optional Context
Provide additional information to improve accuracy:
- Jewelry type: Ring, necklace, bracelet, earrings
- Metal type: If known (gold, platinum, silver)
- Stone types: If identifiable (diamond, sapphire, etc.)
- Size reference: Any known dimensions
Context is optional but improves estimate accuracy.
Step 3: AI Analysis
GEM REPORTER performs multi-step analysis:
- Visual identification - AI identifies jewelry type and components
- Gemstone detection - Locates and classifies all visible stones
- RAG lookup - Applies formula database for calculations
- Weight estimation - Computes metal and stone weights
- Confidence scoring - Rates estimate reliability
Step 4: Review Results
Receive comprehensive estimates including:
- Stone counts and carat weights
- Metal weight by alloy type
- Confidence scores for each estimate
- Human-expert comparison ranges
Analysis Output
Gemstone Estimates
Center Stone:
- Type identification (diamond, sapphire, emerald, etc.)
- Estimated carat weight
- Shape classification
- Confidence score
Accent Stones:
- Total count by type

Metal Weight Estimates
Estimated weight provided for multiple alloys:
Gold Alloys:
- 14K Gold (58.3% pure)
- 18K Gold (75% pure)
- 22K Gold (91.7% pure)
Other Metals:
- Platinum (950 grade)
- Sterling Silver (925)
- White Gold variations
Each estimate includes:
- Weight in grams
- Confidence percentage
- Human-expert comparison range
Confidence Scores
Each estimate includes reliability indicators:
- High confidence (80-100%): Strong visual evidence, clear features
- Medium confidence (60-80%): Good estimate, some assumptions
- Low confidence (40-60%): Limited visibility, rough estimate
Use confidence scores to understand estimate reliability.

Tips for Best Results
Image Quality
For accurate estimates:
- High resolution (1024px minimum)
- Clear focus on gemstones
- Visible metal surfaces
- Even lighting without glare
Visible Details
Ensure visibility of:
- All gemstones (center and accent)
- Metal areas and settings
- Prong and mounting details
- Overall proportions
Provide Context
When known, specify:
- Intended metal type
- Target stone sizes
- Jewelry category
- Any special features
Multiple Images
For complex pieces:
- Front view (primary)
- Close-up of center stone
- View showing all accent stones
- Alternative angles if helpful
Understanding Results
Reading Stone Estimates
Center Stone: 1.2 - 1.5 carats (85% confidence)
- Type: Round Brilliant Diamond
- Human expert range: 1.0 - 1.8 caratsInterpretation:
- AI estimates 1.2-1.5 carats most likely
- 85% confident in this range
- Human experts typically estimate 1.0-1.8 carats
- Actual weight likely falls within these ranges
Reading Metal Estimates
18K Yellow Gold: 4.2 - 5.1 grams (78% confidence)
- Human expert range: 3.8 - 5.5 gramsInterpretation:
- AI estimates 4.2-5.1 grams most likely
- 78% confident in this range
- Accounts for typical construction methods
- Actual weight depends on exact design details
Confidence Factors
Higher confidence when:
- Image is clear and well-lit
- Standard jewelry design
- Visible proportions and details
- Familiar stone shapes
Lower confidence when:
- Image is blurry or dark
- Unusual or complex design
- Partially hidden elements
- Very small accent stones
Troubleshooting
Estimates seem inaccurate
- Upload higher resolution image
- Ensure good lighting on piece
- Provide context about known details
- Try different image angle
Low confidence scores
- Improve image quality
- Ensure all elements are visible
- Provide additional context
- Use cleaner background
Missing stone detection
- Upload close-up images
- Ensure stones are visible
- Try better lighting
- Specify stone locations in context
Metal type misidentified
- Provide metal type in context
- Use better color-accurate image
- Specify karat/grade if known
