3 seconds. That's how long it takes an XRF analyzer to read a piece of metal.
In those 3 seconds, a deal changes. A scrap lot reprices itself. A "family heirloom" tells a different story. A hallmark gets called.
Over the 9 nights before JCK Las Vegas, we're sharing some of these moments. Each one stand-alone. Each one built on the same 3-second test.
Real situations from the jewelry trade. Sometimes the metal is exactly what it claims to be. Sometimes it isn't.
First story tomorrow.
(If you're walking the JCK floor 29 May – 1 June, our dealer US metals Katya Kat Tsviardova will be there with a ProSpector and Jewelry Lab 3 on the table. Bring something to test.)
