Rubies, emeralds, sapphires and semi-precious stones by type, shape, size and weight, from your stock or the customer's.

About Stone Ledger
Works together with
Can we track melee by count and carat both?
Yes. Every melee movement records both count and carat weight, so a returned packet is checked on both.
What about broken stones?
Broken stones are returned as broken, kept in a separate lot, and can be sent back to the supplier or written off with a reason.
Does the metal weight exclude stones?
Yes. Stone weight is deducted from gross to give net metal weight, so metal loss and stone count are each checked on their own.
Bring your stone register. We will count one order back with you.
In a 45 minute demo we load your last month of metal issue and receipt, show where every gram went by process and karigar, and leave you with the numbers.
