Note: Care should be taken when testing mounted
jewelry. Users must ensure that the stones are securely
mounted before conducting the test as the gap between
the stone and setting might lead to an inaccurate reading.
For loose gemstones:
Hold the gemstone with one hand while holding the tester
with the other hand (Fig. 2.4).

¿nger must always be placed on the metal grip of the
