Reviving ExJewel: A New Chapter in Luxury and AI

Years ago, I launched ExJewel, a venture born from my experience in the luxury industry—balancing the worlds of high fashion in Dubai and ST Dupont in Paris, while also closing my father’s family business. ExJewel was the bridge between my passion for luxury and the exciting growth of tech.

The concept was simple yet innovative: 92% of all jewelry sits unused, either on business shelves or in customers' vaults. To address this, I created the first and largest database for jewelry, diamonds, and colored stones, applying a custom AI appraisal tool to standardize inventory assessment. The goal? To help businesses and customers upcycle their assets, reducing the need for new sourcing of precious metals and stones.

ExJewel eventually evolved into a B2B2C marketplace, fostering a sustainable ecosystem in the luxury industry. Unfortunately, like many great initiatives, Covid put ExJewel on hold.

Since then, I've had a complex relationship with the traditional luxury sector, which remains resistant to standardization and digitization. I moved on to deep tech startups and scaleups, never looking back—until now.

With the advancements in AI, I've rebuilt ExJewel using a free GPT model. Now, anyone can estimate the value of branded and unbranded jewelry, diamonds, and colored stones.

This revival is part of a larger journey where I’m creating one startup idea every day throughout 2024, aiming to generate 366 viable ideas and selecting 6 to pursue. Follow the journey here: My 2024 Startup Challenge.

Why did we create ExJewel AI?

icon
Recycled 20+ kg of gold and reused 55+ carats of precious stones
  1. Most jewelry is not worn, sold, or owned by someone. It remains on store shelves.
  2. Prices of raw materials are opaque, from rough gemstones to their combination with precious metals.
  3. Branded jewelry is more recognized and pricier, rather than valuing design, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.
  4. The jewelry & luxury industry lack innovation and competitively.
  5. Brands or jewelers still design and produce new jewelry collections with raw materials instead of upcycling existing ones.
