Why jewelry needs a better home

Paperwork gets lost, memories fade, and values change. Without clear photos, certificates, and a trusted record, insurance claims and estate transfers become slow and stressful. Vorby prevents that by keeping every detail organized and accessible when you need it most.

Photo & Document Vault

Store high-resolution images, certificates, receipts, and appraisals together, so every piece has a complete visual and paper trail.

Provenance & Valuation Tracking

Log origins, ownership history, and valuation updates, so you can show provenance and track market changes over time.

Insurance-ready Reports

Generate polished PDFs with photos and documentation, ready for insurers, appraisers, or estate planners, saving time and reducing disputes.

How it works

  1. Add each piece, name it, and record key details like metal, carat, maker, and purchase date.
  2. Upload photos, certificates, receipts, and appraisal documents to create a complete record.
  3. Request or log valuations and notes, then attach them to the corresponding item for a clear history.
  4. Share controlled access with family, insurers, or advisors, or export reports when you need official documentation.
"Vorby made settling my grandmother's estate straightforward, every heirloom had clear photos and paperwork, and appraisers found everything they needed instantly."
Maya L., estate planner
How secure is my data?

Vorby uses encryption and private vaults, and you control who can access each record. Only people you invite can view shared items.

Can I generate reports for insurance or estate planning?

Yes, export clean PDFs with photos, provenance, appraisals, and receipts, formatted for insurers, lawyers, and appraisers.
