From a drawer you avoid to a document your insurer accepts.

Photograph it

The part that usually stops people.

Point your phone at a piece. Curated reads the photograph and drafts the record — name, brand, category, and a starting value — in a few seconds. You correct anything it got wrong and move to the next one.

That is the whole reason a forty-piece collection takes an afternoon instead of a weekend, and it is why most people who start actually finish.

Describe it properly

The fields an adjuster asks for, not the ones an app usually offers.

Serial and reference numbers. Size, with its system — a 38 EU is not a 38 US. Colour, year, condition, where it was acquired and from whom. Free-form provenance for the part of the story that matters.

Receipts, appraisal documents and certificates of authenticity attach to the piece itself, so the paperwork and the object never drift apart.

Value it — honestly

The distinction the rest of the category gets wrong.

Curated estimates what a piece would fetch on the secondary market. That is useful, and it is not an appraisal. So when you record a professional appraisal — with the appraiser's name and the date — it takes precedence, and the two are never added together into one comfortable number.

Your schedule totals them separately and labels every line with its basis. A carrier writes agreed-value coverage against an appraisal; handing them a blended figure is how a schedule gets sent back.

Organize it across homes

Two axes, because a collection doesn't sit in one room.

Rooms tell you where a piece physically is. Collections cut across them — every handbag, wherever it lives. Toggle between the two, and filter hundreds of pieces by brand, size, colour, room, value band or residence.

If you keep more than one home, each piece belongs to one, and every total can be read per residence.

Produce the document

The artifact this whole thing exists to make.

A schedule of valuables as a PDF: grouped by residence and then by insurance class — jewellery, watches, fine art, handbags, silver — because that is how a carrier reads one, not by the rooms of your house. Photographs, serials, provenance and condition on every line. Appraised and estimated totals stated separately on the cover.

There is a CSV too, twenty-three columns, for the broker who wants it in a spreadsheet.

Share it with one person

Not with the internet.

Invite someone by name — a spouse, an executor, your organizer — and they see the collection, read-only, in their own account. Or create a link for the broker who is never going to sign up for anything: it opens in a browser, and you can put a passcode on it, hide the values, set it to expire, and revoke it the moment the renewal is done.

One screen lists everyone who has access, when they last opened it, and a button to take it back. Nothing is ever public and nothing is indexed.

Release what you're done with

The other half of owning things.

Flag a piece to sell and it moves to a list with its resale potential, so the decision to let something go is made once, on purpose, rather than every time you open the closet.
