1. GemCam

If you love the simplicity of smartphones but yearn for better photo quality, you’ll surely fall in love with GemCam. GemCam is the ultimate jewelry and gemstone camera designed with jewelers in mind.

GemCam is perfect for jewelry photography with features created to provide the ideal environment for jewelry and gemstone photoshoots.

• Enhanced lighting with its built-in white and yellow LEDs to bring out the true color and sparkles of your jewelry.

• Plug and play. GemCam doesn’t discriminate. Whether you’re a professional product photographer or a newbie shop assistant with no photography experience, it captures studio-grade perfection in every shot.

2. GemLightbox Pro

Don’t confuse the new GemLightbox Pro with our original GemLightbox. While the names are almost similar, the GemLightbox Pro has features and functionalities you won’t find in the old box or any other jewelry lightboxes on the market. It’s the PRO, after all.

The GemLightbox Pro is GemLightbox reimagined. It’s bigger, faster, and has an adjustable lighting system that illuminates jewelry pieces from every angle evenly.

• Bigger. The Pro has 30% bigger interior space, making it functional for photographing larger jewelry pieces.
• Faster. Name me a lightbox that captures both photos and videos in one click. I bet you can’t think of any. With the Pro, simply turn on the Burst Mode and effortlessly capture four (4) photos from every angle and one (1) 360-degree video of your jewelry piece or gemstone with just one click of your smartphone camera.
• Adjustable lighting technology. The Pro comes with two adjustable lights—Sparkles and Yellow—that you can move and adjust according to the position you want.
• Built-in turntables for both aerial photography and front-view photography.
• AI capability. The GemLightbox Pro Bundle makes the Pro and Gem Hub a powerhouse duo. It gives subscribed jewelers access to AI-powered tools like the jewelry description generator tool, jewelry retouching, and digital catalog maker, among many others.

3. ChatGPT Plugins

By now you would’ve already heard about ChatGPT. It’s an AI chatbot that uses natural language processing to interact with users conversationally. But did you know that you can do more with this tool through its plugins?

ChatGPT plugins are tools designed specifically for language models to help ChatGPT access up-to-date information and work with third-party services to deliver a better overall user experience. James Allen, a diamond bridal jewelry company, introduced the first ChatGPT plugin for their customers’ jewelry shopping needs. This plugin helps James Allen customers find the exact ring they’re looking for by telling the chatbot the type of jewelry they’re looking for, their budget, and their style preferences. The chatbot will provide customers with three options including the links for a seamless shopping experience.

4. Gem Testing Device

The rise of lab-grown diamonds has posed a challenge for jewelers in terms of separating natural diamonds from man-made ones, which then puts detection devices at the center of the discussion. After all, it’s your reputation that’s on the line. The risks are so big that many gem identification and detection tools have been introduced just like GIA’s GIA iD100.

The GIA iD100 is a gem testing device that combines advanced spectroscopic technology and GIA’s decades of gemstone and diamond identification research to deliver a sophisticated but easy-to-use desktop instrument to screen your gems. It’s small but powerful with its unrivaled accuracy that lets jewelers and customers transact with full confidence and trust.
