Can I weigh other items on this besides gems, i.e. like herbs? I have to be able to weigh as low as half grams.

You can weigh anything you want on a scale. The scale doesn't discriminate against herbs. Of any kind. The scale comes with two clear trays that can be used to hold the items being weighed, a smaller and a larger one. They can hold things that might spill over the sides of the scale, and then the tare button can be used to zero the weight with the empty tray before adding your items. The scale weighs grams to one decimal place, so handles fractions of grams to tenths of grams. This is what I needed, too, in terms of more precise weights. I am still very happy with the one I bought and whenever I mislay it I start to panic. I wonder if I should buy a spare, though it seems profligate. You can weigh anything you want on a scale.

Yes you can. It will measure weight in grams, ounces, troy ounces and penny wieght in fractions.

Yes. I use it for weighing hops for brewing beer. It has a plastic tray that sits on top that works good for measuring this type of item.

Yes it will weigh more or less than 68 grams. You can try resetting the unit by taking out the batteries waiting 1-2 minutes and putting them back in

It can weigh jewelry provided that it does not exceed 200 grams. The same goes for packages. The max weight it can handle is 200 grams.

0.01g & you can check w/1-5gram wt but the tare should be sufficient. If not accurate return or refer to manufacture.

I don't think any of my potted plants weigh 10lbs. They probably are 5 - 8 lbs. However, I think it would be ok to try out a 10lb. pot because I have other decorative items on each shelf, including different rocks. Won't know til you try it! The rack is very sturdy and stable and also an attractive addition to our patio.

It starts out with the lowest amount of 1 gram, or ounce etc... and goes up from there. I cannot determinine the high limit as it goes into an overload reading if I excede it. I bought this mainly to measure jewelry weights and it works just fine for that.

This scale will weigh in grams- by tapping the mode button until you get to the gram measure mode- starting at 0.0 grams. So, it will weigh items as light as 1/10th of a gram up to 2000 grams. Yes, you can tare the scale to zero with a box or any other item on top. I purchased the scale to weigh my lighter stained glass pieces. I like the scale but wish the top were a little larger- it measures 4"x4" which may be ideal for your use. The scale has a hold button which I found useful. When you depress the hold button the display shows the final weight for about a minute and a half, then the scale turns itself off. I hope this info. is useful in your decision making.

Hi Anita,Well, I have mine holding flower pots that way perhaps 2 kg, roughly 4 lb, with no problem. Make sure you hold the pot from below when you activate the mechanism by pulling the string, because once released the pot will fall under the full pull of gravity. I also have some without the string activated mechanism, but apart from the sting that you can only partly hide in the foliage, the ones with the string work better.

They're pretty thin, doubt you could put anything heavy on them. So I guess it depends what you're using them for. I put beads and tiny charms on them to make wine charms. Maybe you could find charms with names? I bought little hearts that said "Grandmother" on etsy.com. I saw someone drilled holes in scrabble tiles, could work for short names. Or get small metal pieces engraved.

I don't have a way to weigh it but it is very light. Only holds a few gu packets and maybe an energy bar or two.

All i can tell you is this specific model can weigh up to 120g. I've only used it for mail, jewelry, etc... but it shouldn't matter what you are putting on the scale. Whether it be feathers, gold, steel, or herbs. Hope that helps.

I didn't weigh the box. Since this product is basically the density of rock (and not plastic), imagine 50 rocks the size of a smaller woman's fist. You might also contact the company if you need a more precise number.

My hair is thick so nothing really weighs it down. If your hair is thin this product could weigh your hair down if you use too much. I literally grab a scoop of it. But I think you might want to try a quarter size, spread it around then see how it goes.

Not sure about that but mine was worse as it does not switch to grams, everything stays in lbs and ozs. This is a bad brand, will never buy from them again. I did not return it because it is good enough for what I need but i was tempted....

I bought a 200 gram capacity digital gram scale on amazon for less than $15 and it's pretty accurate. Mine weighs to .00 grams which would work for your purposes. I think it's great for culinary and cosmetic measuring purposes (the small stuff of course). I'm not too sure about that cheap of a scale for something as pricey as precious metals and gemstones although it does weigh carats too. You can also get the 100g and 200g weight to calibrate the scale for better accuracy overall. People who said to use a kitchen scale with a 1 gram increment are pretty far off the mark, it seems like they didn't think that through. I do use a kitchen scale that has 1 gram increment but that would not be accurate for these smaller amounts. You may find that one of the measuring spoons is close, but you would have to test that out with a gram scale first.

yes, you can "Tare" out consecutive weighes. Each time you tare, the scale will "Zero" out for you to see how heavy the newly added ingrediants are.

I attempted to weigh it on my scales and it does not register, so must be less than one pound. I do not find it to be heavy enough to hinder using it.
