Jewelry IdentifierIs My Jewelry Real?
Upload a photo and we'll tell you if your jewelry appears to be genuine or costume/fake. No sign-up required.
How the Free Jewelry Authenticity Check Works
Upload a clear photo of your jewelry and the AI analyzes it in seconds. It examines metal color and luster, stone appearance, setting quality, visible stamps, and overall craftsmanship to determine whether your piece appears genuine or costume.
Each result includes a confidence score, material identification, stone analysis, and specific clues the AI used to reach its conclusion. You'll also get a recommendation on whether professional testing makes sense for your piece.
What the AI Checks For
- Metal analysis — Color, luster, and wear patterns that distinguish real gold, silver, and platinum from plated or base metals
- Stone verification — Visual characteristics that separate genuine diamonds, rubies, and sapphires from glass, CZ, and synthetics
- Hallmark detection — Reads any visible stamps or karat marks on the piece
- Construction quality — Setting technique, prong work, and finishing that indicate fine vs. costume jewelry
When You Need More Than a Photo Check
A photo-based check catches most obvious fakes, but some pieces need hands-on testing. If the AI flags your piece as potentially valuable, consider a professional appraisal for definitive results. Our guide on real vs fake jewelry covers the at-home tests you can do yourself, and the gold testing guide walks through 8 specific tests for gold pieces.
