Jewellery Collection App
Vitrine is a jewellery collection app for collectors of rings, necklaces, brooches, and gemstones. Record hallmarks, gemstone details, provenance, and insurance value. Attach photographs and valuation documents. Free to start.
Why jewellery collectors choose Vitrine
Insurance requires proper documentation
Without photographs, valuations, and hallmark records, an insurance claim for lost or stolen jewellery is difficult to support. Vitrine keeps all of this in one place.
Gemstone details need to be permanently recorded
Cut, carat weight, colour, and clarity are not always documented by retailers. Once the certificate gets separated from a piece, these details are hard to recover. Vitrine keeps them permanently attached.
Inherited jewellery often lacks documentation
Family jewellery passed down through generations rarely comes with records. Vitrine lets you create that record now — before another generation loses track of what exists and what it is worth.
Features for jewellery collectors

Frequently asked questions
Can I catalog different types of jewellery together?
Yes. Catalog rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and loose stones in one collection. Use categories to organise by type.
How do I record hallmarks?
Use the notes field to record the metal type, hallmark symbols (date letter, assay office, maker's mark), and any other marks present.
Can I attach gemstone certificates?
Yes, on Professional plans. Attach PDFs of GIA, HRD, or other gemstone grading certificates directly to the item record.
Is Vitrine useful for inherited jewellery?
Yes. Creating a proper record now — with photos, descriptions, and estimated values — is the most useful thing you can do for inherited pieces that lack documentation.
Can I share my catalogue with a valuer or insurer?
You can make selected items public on your collection page and share the link, or keep everything private and refer valuers to specific records.
