This program provides a focused introduction to X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and its role in jewelry metal analysis. The session begins with a clear explanation of the underlying scientific principles of XRF, demonstrating how it detects and identifies elements based on their unique atomic signatures.

Participants will then explore how XRF is applied in the jewelry industry, including typical use cases for both retail environments and laboratory settings. The discussion will cover the advantages of XRF testing—such as speed and non-destructive analysis—as well as key limitations and considerations when interpreting results.

Throughout the session, real-world examples and guided discussion will help participants connect theory to practice, equipping them with a deeper understanding of how XRF supports accurate metal identification.
