Problem
Many jewelry owners have valuable pieces hidden in drawers but lack accurate, transparent information about their current market value, making it difficult to insure, sell, or manage them as financial assets.
Solution
Unvault provides an online platform that lets users obtain instant, AI‑driven appraisals of their jewelry by uploading photos. The system analyzes metal type, gemstones, and markings against a large database, applies real‑time market prices for metals and stones, and presents a detailed valuation with a clear cost breakdown. Users can build a digital portfolio that automatically updates as market conditions change, allowing them to monitor the total worth of their collection over time. When ready to sell, owners can select items, receive a prepaid insured shipping label, and watch a video verification of the authentication process before receiving a final offer that includes a transparent 10‑20% fee. The service emphasizes full transparency, giving owners control over whether and when to sell their pieces.
