(1) Is this good to weigh gold and silver ( 1 gram to 1000 grams) ? (2) Can we keep a box on top of and tare to measure big jewelries ?

This scale will weigh in grams- by tapping the mode button until you get to the gram measure mode- starting at 0.0 grams. So, it will weigh items as light as 1/10th of a gram up to 2000 grams. Yes, you can tare the scale to zero with a box or any other item on top. I purchased the scale to weigh my lighter stained glass pieces. I like the scale but wish the top were a little larger- it measures 4"x4" which may be ideal for your use. The scale has a hold button which I found useful. When you depress the hold button the display shows the final weight for about a minute and a half, then the scale turns itself off. I hope this info. is useful in your decision making.

It can measure accurately. However, the displayed number can disappear in the middle of weighing. The display often goes "blank", so you have to re do the weighing. If you weigh more than one item and try to add another, you will lose count if the display goes blank. If you only weigh one item, you can just reweigh that particular item. I hope this helps.

Although this is a scale, it is only used to weigh ingredients. It will not tell you how many ounces pounds grams so forth. It will just tell you whether not you added enough or too much.

If you are talking pounds it will weight things to .002. Kilograms are measured to .001. Ounces to .01. Grams will weigh to the closest gram.

I'm sorry I've only used grams at this time. I will try to remember to look into this for you.

Hi Allen. I checked on my own same scale and it does weigh ounces and if "gn" means grain, then it also weighs grains too. Hope this helps.

Sorry I'm so late, was out of town. This scale measures ounces from 246.90 to 0.05 - which means anything under 1/2 of an ounce reads 0.00. You can get 0.1; 0.2; 0.23; 0.46 etc. readings. The good thing is, if you need more accurate measures - you can just go to grams (which measures from 7000 to 1). I hope this answers your questions. By the way - I love this scale! Its the best I've ever had - I make soap; creams; lotions; perfume and anything else along those lines. It's really sturdy, accurate, versatile and easy to use.

Nope.Are you sure you need to measure 1/100th of a gram? 1 gram is pretty light. There are more than 28, but less than 29, grams in 1 ounce.If you really need a scale accurate down to 1/100th of an ounce, you're going to need a laboratory grade scale. And I don't want to know what you're weighing.

I have used the scale to measure the weight of a letter, which would be less than an ounce. Since there are 28 grams in an ounce, I would think that by measuring in grams, you would get a measure that is closer to what you need than by measuring in less than an ounce. However, I do not measure such small amounts for my baking. For small measures, I use a tablespoon-teaspoon. Sorry I can't help.

I does not jump 5 grams at a time. That said, I get the feeling that it may not be accurate enough for your purposes. I once worked in a lab that did chemical analysis and I know that this scale would never have worked. Perhaps, you need less precision.

Yes it Measures Carats, grams, oz, ozt (troy ounce), dwt (penny weight), gn (grain).

It will weigh less than 1 gram directly BUT I found it unreliable at these small weights. That was the reason I was dissatisfied with it.

My experience is that it is accurate with very small masses such as fractions of an ounce or in a low number of grams. For such small masses or volumes I put a small Dixie cup on the scale (which typically weighs about 3 grams) and then tare the scale and then add in the powder or whatever I need to weigh. I typically use grams, but the scale can show weights in tenths or hundredths of an ounce.

The placeholders for the three read-outs are thusly: Grams: 0000 Ounces: 000.00 Pounds: 00:00.0 From Escali's website: "Measures up to 11 lbs (5 kg) in 0.1 ounce (1 gram) increments." So, maximum measurements would look like this: Grams: 4989 Ounces: 176.00 Pounds: 11: 0.0 Anything larger shows up as: EEEE

I only use the scale on the metric base. But I checked with an item of 15 gramms (which ist equivalant to 1/2 oz) and the weight was correct.

Unfortunately I am not using it for jewelry weighing. I actually got it for small amounts of fertilizers for my planted fish tank. It works for my purposes but don't know about others.

Yes. It can calculate between grams, ounces, lbs., etc. (I think there's six different sets of measurements it can do). Just be careful though. Mine sort of went on the fritz after two months or so of using it, and now it will not "tare" itself. So it basically keeps telling me that I have -11.75 oz. Very strange.... Good luck! :)

No. It is only accurate to .01 g witch is a hundredth of a gram . And a mg is a thousandths of a gram. If you want to measure those amounts get a .001 scale
