The app works by analyzing photos of jewelry pieces. Users take pictures of their items using a smartphone camera. The AI examines details like gemstones, metal type, craftsmanship, and overall condition. It compares these features against a large database of current market prices and similar sold items. This process provides an estimated value range quickly.

Sony developed this technology to make jewelry appraisal easier and more accessible. Getting professional appraisals can be expensive and time-consuming. This app offers a fast, free starting point for consumers. It is particularly useful for people inheriting jewelry or considering selling items. The company emphasized this tool is for initial estimates only. It is not a replacement for certified professional appraisals needed for insurance or legal purposes.

The AI system was trained on vast datasets of jewelry images and verified sales records. Sony states the app improves accuracy over time as more users contribute data. Privacy is a key focus. User photos and data are processed securely on Sony’s servers. Personal information remains protected according to the company’s privacy policy.
