What Luster actually does.
Five capability buckets, plus the Studio power-user kit. Each one maps to an in-app tab. Take what you need.
Drop a photo. Get a record.
Photo cataloging drafts a structured record from a single photo — metal, weight, maker, year, form, finish — using a vision model tuned for hand-pour and bullion imagery. You confirm what matters before saving.
Browse the result in a visual gallery built around how collectors think: by maker, theme, finish, form, value, era. Inventory view gives you the dense list when you want it.
Know what your collection is worth, every day.
Live spot prices across silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, and rhodium drive the melt valuation behind every piece. Premium tracking shows the spread between melt and collector value over time.
Insights rolls it up — total collection value, per-metal mix, recent movement — and a live eBay marketplace card pulls in active listings on every maker page so you see what the market is actually paying.
Reflect how you actually collect.
Maker pages, themes, and tracked sets give you a system that matches how serious collectors think — by artist, theme, finish, technique, drop, or your own personal chase.
Aliases resolve common misspellings and variations so a piece marked Aitch Metal still shows up under Aitch Metal Co. The catalog grows around what the community actually calls things.
Show off the pieces worth showing.
Stable LSTR codes give every piece a permanent reference — usable in records, exports, listings, and handoff notes — that resolves forever even if you rename or reorganize.
Public showcase pages let you publish a curated view of your collection without exposing prices, storage, or notes. Sharing is opt-in per piece; vaults are private by default.
When Luster is part of the work.
Research on any piece pulls together identifier, catalog, market, and provenance signals into one finding sheet. Listing drafts generate eBay-ready titles, descriptions, item specifics, and pricing ranges you can paste straight into a listing.
Bulk insurance documentation prose generates structured records across whole sets at once. Original-resolution source files preserved at upload — for insurance, listings, and re-export to wherever else you publish.
