Regarding scales to weigh jewelry-

[boogeyman]

It doesn't even have a way to calibrate it that I know of. I know that when testing it to known weights it is still accurate after 2 years. 1000g is about 2.2 lbs. That should be good for most things but the only downside is that it's a pocket scale so the platform is small. It does have a tare feature so you could get a piece of plexiglass to make for a larger platform.

Hope this helps..

I've got a tupperware container (small) that fits the scale loupe & small jewlers file. Keeps everything together, and the tupperware can be put on the scale for a lot of pieces or a larger object that won't fit the plate. As with n9zez's situation it can go in your gear bag in your unit & you can weigh several bags of evidence at one time.
