Important
The AI is an advisor, not the final authority.
When you and the AI agree — perfect.
When you disagree — investigate the stone and make your final conclusion.
Please feel free to contact us for advice.
How Does the AI Work?
The AI model has two stages:
1. Recognize what is a stone.
2. Identify what type of stone it is.
The accuracy of the second stage is above 99% under proper testing conditions.
1. Recognize What Is a Stone
The new AI model can automatically recognize loose stones as small as 0.01 ct. in Watson AI and Sherlock AI.
For mounted stones, it can recognize approximately:
- Watson AI: 0.01 ct. and up.
- Sherlock AI: approximately 0.02–0.03 ct. and up.
If a stone is not automatically found, you can always manually mark the stone and analyze it — regardless of its size.
Why Sometimes Does the AI Not Recognize a Stone?
The most common reasons are:
- The stone is out of focus – Retest with focus.
- Side stones are not facing up – reposition them, so they face the camera, and retest. Make sure the focus is correct.
- Stones are touching or piled up – separate them and retest.
- Pavé settings – stones that are very close together may not be recognized.
Any stone that is not recognized can be manually marked and analyzed.
Please see “Manual Marking of a Stone” below.
2. Identify What Type of Stone It Is
In our internal testing of over 100,000 stones, the AI model achieved better than 99% accuracy.
Real-life results may differ.
Why Sometimes Does the AI Give the Wrong Classification?
There are a few situations that can adversely affect the AI reading.
In most cases, the user can easily identify these situations and understand why the AI may have produced an incorrect result.
Reflections
The light sources are located near the camera. Sometimes a stone reflects the light instead of producing fluorescence or phosphorescence.
The AI may interpret this reflection as the stone shining.
This can occur on any testing screen: COLORED, GLOWING, and SIMULANTS.
Solution: Move the loose stone or jewelry to another position and test again.
The “Flashlight Effect”
Some stones shine extremely strongly — almost like a flashlight — and can illuminate the stones next to them.
This is most common on the GLOWING and SIMULANTS screens, but it can also occur on the COLORED screen.
The AI may then think that a nearby stone is shining when it is actually being illuminated by the neighboring stone.
Loose stones: Remove the very strongly shining stone and retest.
Jewelry: The stone usually cannot be removed, so the result should be evaluated using human judgment.
When reflections and the flashlight effect are eliminated, AI accuracy is significantly higher than 99%.
3. Natural Diamond vs. Moissanite
There is one important area where extra attention is required.
Some small natural diamonds, when mounted, may not show fluorescence. They can therefore behave similarly to Moissanite and may receive a Moissanite result by the AI.
This usually occurs in jewelry containing many small diamonds, where most stones show the expected response but a few appear different because they are not showing fluorescence.
Recommended Solution
Check questionable stones with a loupe and/or a simple diamond pen tester to confirm whether they are diamonds or Moissanites.
Remember
The AI is a powerful advisor — but when a result does not make sense, investigate the stone and use your professional judgment.
AI Confidence Level
Every AI marked stone has its AI confidence level.
- 99% = very high confidence
- 80% = high confidence
- Lower percentages = less certainty
The default threshold is 80%. Stones below 80% appear in black, but their confidence score can still be viewed.
The confidence threshold can be changed in the cloud after saving the test.
AI Classification Colors
🔵 Blue – Natural Diamond
🔴 Red – HPHT
🟢 Green – CVD
🩷 Pink – CZ / Other Simulants
🟠 Orange – Moissanite
⚫ Black – Refer / AI uncertain; move and retest
Marking Stones to Be Analyzed (Manual Marking)
It is recommended to watch the videos for easier understanding.
If a stone is not detected (not painted/outlined by the AI) or, if you would like the AI to “think again” about the stone, you can mark it manually and regenerate the AI.
On Your Phone
- Generate the AI result.
- After the AI is done and before saving, press “Analyze Custom Area”
- Use two fingers to zoom in.
- Using one finger, mark the outline the stones you want the AI to analyze.
- Do not mark outside the stones!!!
- Tap Generate.
- Repeat if needed.
On Your computer cloud.yehuda.com, after you saved the test.
It is recommended to watch the video:
- Sign in to cloud.yehuda.com.
- Go to Gallery and select the desired test.
- Click Generate AI Result.
- When the AI analysis is complete, click Analyze Custom Area.
- On the top-right, click the Zoom icon to zoom in.
- At the top, click the Pen icon to switch to the Drag icon .
- You can now move the zoomed-in view to the desired area.
- Click the Drag icon again to switch back to the Pen icon .
- Using your mouse (or your finger on a touchscreen), carefully outline the stones you want the AI to analyze.
- Repeat switching between Pen and Drag/Pan as needed until you finish marking all desired stones.
- Important: Do not mark outside the stones.
- Click Generate.
- You may repeat the process to mark and analyze additional stones.
- At the bottom of the page, you can navigate between the original AI results and the history of your marked (custom area) results.
AI confidence level
After you generated the AI results, you can tap on any stone and get the AI level of confidence. By default, the AI will mark any stone with above 80% certainty. When in doubt, this number is important to take into consideration. The close to 100%, the more the AI model is certain.
Stone which get less than 80% will be marked in black. You are still able to see the confidence level with a black marked stone.
After saving the test, you can go to the back office at cloud.yehuda.com and change the confidence level. For example, if a stone certainty level is 79% it will be marked in black, but if you reduce the level to 79% you will see what is the AI model result.
Change the confidence level of the AI results
After saving a test, on your computer go to cloud.yehuda.com and log in using your app credentials.
- In Gallery, select a test and click Generate AI.
- Once the AI results are generated, click/tap any stone to view its AI certainty (confidence) score.
How to interpret the score
- 99% = maximum confidence
- 80% = still a very high-quality result
- Lower percentages indicate less certainty and should be interpreted with caution.
Default filtering
- By default, results are filtered at an 80% confidence level.
- Stones that receive below 80% are marked in black.
- You can still click a black-marked stone to see its confidence score.
Changing the confidence level
- You can change the confidence threshold by adjusting the confidence slider.
- Example: If a stone’s certainty is 70%, it will be marked in black at the default 80%. If you lower the slider to 70%, the AI v result will be shown normally.
Please note: Currently, after generating AI on your phone, you can tap any stone and see its confidence score. Changing the confidence level (threshold) is only available after saving the test and using cloud.yehuda.com on your computer.
False Positives
The AI may occasionally mark metal areas or reflections.
These markings should be disregarded.
Important notes
- Detector vs. AI accuracy:
- Yehuda detectors will not miss a lab-grown diamond when the final decision is verified by a human.
- A small percentage (about 2%) of natural diamonds are detected as LGD (false positives) by the detector. In those cases, the AI model will also classify them as LGD, because it relies on the detector’s physical reading.
- AI accuracy:
- Currently about 99% in our internal tests, and the model is still learning and improving.
- Note:
- The AI model serves as an advisory tool, not a final authority.
- Continuous updates and training will further enhance its performance.
