1. Search and filtering
Professionals can filter the archive by type, maker, brand, period, material, certificate, assay mark, sale, location, description, engraving and market context. Filters are designed for investigation rather than shopping.
2. Visual search
An uploaded image can be compared with visually related records. Results should be read as leads: similar settings, silhouettes, materials, stones, proportions or motifs can guide the expert toward comparable records.
3. Source review
Whenever possible, records preserve a link to the original source. The source should be reviewed before relying on a match in an appraisal, insurance, sale, publication or due-diligence workflow.
4. Similarity and confidence
Similar products may be surfaced through shared identifiers, certificates, stock numbers, makers, marks, materials or visual proximity. A similar result is not by itself proof of authorship, authenticity or provenance.
5. Human expertise
The service accelerates research and comparison, but it does not replace physical inspection, gemological testing, provenance analysis, legal checks or the judgement of a qualified professional.
