Our Valuation Framework

Our proprietary methodology merges cultural modeling with jewelry appraisal:

AG Brand Score™: Measures the athlete’s brand legitimacy and cultural influence.
Cultural Asset Value™ (CAV™): Maximum defensible value under peak market conditions.
Certified Fair Market Value™ (CFMV™): Insurable, auditable value range for estates, insurance, or transactions.
X-Factor Index™ (XFI™): Identifies the best timing for valuation, sale, or partnership.
Jewelry Brand Fit Score™ (JBFS™): Evaluates alignment with heritage, contemporary, and regional luxury brands.
Game-Worn Jewelry Premium™ (GWJP™): Provenance-based premium for items worn in competition or championship moments.

How It Works

Every AthleteGEM™ valuation begins by establishing the athlete’s current AG Brand Score™, our proprietary measure of cultural legitimacy, market influence, and legacy impact. This score forms the foundation for all subsequent valuation layers.

Process Overview:

AG Brand Assessment: Determine the athlete’s current AG Brand Score™ to assess cultural influence, market reach, and legacy impact.
Digital Verification & Appraisal Review: Analyze existing physical appraisals from recognized authorities (GIA, AGS, or equivalent) and confirm material authenticity using digital authentication tools.
Athlete Confirmation: The athlete provides signed verification of ownership and condition, creating an auditable record that ensures accuracy and integrity.
Provenance Authentication: Verify engravings, estate records, manufacturer markings, and other identifying features remotely.
Preliminary Valuation Assessment: Apply proprietary frameworks (CAV™, CFMV™, XFI™, JBFS™, GWJP™) to layer cultural and market value on top of verified material worth.
Consultation & Full Valuation: Conduct a confidential expert review to produce the final Certified Fair Market Value™ (CFMV™), cultural analysis, and market timing recommendations.

Note: Every valuation is fully auditable, institution-ready, and digital-first, combining the highest jewelry appraisal standards with the athlete’s cultural capital—without requiring physical collection of the piece.
