1.0
From camera roll to catalog
Photos, prices, makers, weights, and notes live across your phone, memory, and maybe a spreadsheet you stopped updating. Luster pulls it together fast enough that you’ll actually finish.
- 1.1
Start with a photo — not a form
Drop a photo to get a draft record with likely details — metal, weight, maker, year, form, and finish.
- 1.2
Cataloging that keeps up
Catalog five pieces or five hundred without slowing down. No setup. No perfect data required.
- 1.3
Your sets, your makers, your gaps
Patterns appear as you add — missing items, repeated makers, and gaps in your sets become visible.
2.0
Melt is the floor
Track what you paid, what it’s worth in metal, and what it could be worth to the right buyer.
- 2.1
See the gap between melt and what collectors actually pay
Every piece shows live melt, premiums, and estimated value.
- 2.2
Real gains, losses, and break-even points
Compare your buys to the market and see real gains, losses, and break-even points — in dollars and ounces.
- 2.3
What moved, and why
Get a clear read on what moved, what it means, and where your collection is gaining strength — without digging through charts.
3.0
Spreadsheets sort by columns — collections don’t
See your collection from any angle.
- 3.1
Your favorites, your habits, your gaps
By maker, theme, or form—patterns emerge instantly. Your favorites, your habits, and what’s missing.
- 3.2
Spelling optional
Smart fields and flexible queries let you find anything—exact matches or fuzzy ideas—in seconds.
- 3.3
Edit by the dozen
Update, sell, or reorganize multiple pieces at once—without losing your place.
4.0
Beyond what you own
Maker pages gather what marketplaces scatter.
- 4.1
Every maker, in one place
See a maker’s full body of work — across pours, releases, and public pieces — not just what you own.
- 4.2
Aliases, resolved
Different names, same maker. Luster connects aliases so pieces link to the profile they belong to.
- 4.3
Prototypes, one-of-ones, the truly rare
One-of-ones, prototypes, and private pieces appear as collectors share—revealing the real market.
5.0
The piece changes hands — the record doesn't
Photos get lost. Notes drift. Details fade. Luster pins the record — so wherever the piece goes, the context goes too.
- 5.1
One code, one piece
Each item gets a unique LSTR code — a single reference for its photos, details, values, and history.
- 5.2
Everything that matters, in one record
Maker details, purchase history, melt value, premium, and notes live in one place — tied to the piece.
- 5.3
Sell, insure, gift, hand down — covered
Selling, insuring, gifting, or documenting a piece is easier when everything points back to one clear record.
