So why do you think here, like in the States, that jewelry is treated as taboo or it's just purely sentimental when it's real money, there's real value there? Why do you think that is in our culture here? Anything you would say?

I think it's just, that's the wonderful aspect of being in America, right? There is just macro factors have never made us realize of gold's importance, right? Like currency is always good.

USD is the currency, right? And so macro factors like currency stability, having enough wealth around, like it helps people not to think about gold.

Like in India, the currency depreciates.

So you have to look at gold as part of your saving.

So it's very top of mind.

But here it is a form of jewelry.

Just thinking more about some of the process that you're describing here, what's the difference between a melt value, a resell value, insurance or replacement value? What's the differences in some of these things?

[laughs]

... you can also take your phone and use Unvault.

Uh, Unvault will take f- like, you know, start with photos.

It will give you valuation of your jewelry.

It will take that input of gold or not from you.

But beyond that point, it will give you a very accurate representation of your jewelry.

What is the weight? What is the construction type? Some details about the piece itself, you know, it is, is it an old piece? Is it, is it a new one? And, um, it also gives you a portfolio.

Now, here's the question: How do you stop yourself or Unvault from buying stolen property?

Listen to Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[upbeat music] On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman.

I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.

I chose option B. I'm Julie Piñero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.

I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility.

Listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Mm-hmm.

If you do not want to do all of this work, you can also take your phone and use Unvault.

Mm-hmm.

If you do not want to do all of this work, you can also take your phone and use Unvault.

Uh, Unvault will take f- like, you know, start with photos.

It will give you valuation of your jewelry.

It will take that input of gold or not from you.

But beyond that point, it will give you a very accurate representation of your jewelry.

What is the weight? What is the construction type? Some details about the piece itself.

Now, here's the question: How do you stop yourself or Unvault from buying stolen property?

... from just a photo in a very short period of time.

Yeah.

So Steve, what we have built is we've built a database of, of a lot of jewelry in the world.

So what we can do now very, very well is take a photo of your jewelry, understand how it's made, uh, using AI, and then break it down into different components and provide a price for you.

So for gold jewelry, for gold only, only jewelry, Unvault can get you a very good answer quickly if you're able to take, you know, photos with a reference point.

Uh, for diamonds and emeralds and gemstones, we're getting much better with time.

So by the end of the year you can expect gold, uh, Unvault to be like source of truth for all forms of jewelry.

And folks, you wanna look at your own personal experience when, when, when Nidhi's talking here, okay?

Obviously, they are great with vintage bags, jewelry, and watches, but utilizing AI to help us understand the value of of our old jewelry and how to sell it you creating a marketplace here with unvault.co give me an idea of what you can do now with uh that jewelry

so uh David our idea is very simple if you have any jewelry lying in a drawer in a in a in a box We want you to take it out, take photos of it and understand its value.

So don't keep your gold as a question mark in drawers.

Understand its value using Unvault and then track it in your portfolio because jewelry is actually an asset that moves with the market and gold has doubled in the last year.

So has your jewelry.

So it's time to figure out that value and understand for yourself.

how about selling it are you using blockchain for fractional ownership in jewelry how are you helping facilitate uh the sale of that jewelry

something very simple right now uh david what we want to do is we want people to uh get the transparency of the value and then if they want to sell they can also sell on unwalled so very simple process you click a button you get a shipping label you ship things to us we authenticate The best thing about our process is that we do everything very transparently.
