OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
September 10, 2026

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) launches an automated pay-per-use diamond research service that combines its analytics and appraisal systems to help users quickly evaluate GIA-graded natural diamonds. It provides Judith Capital’s estimated reasonable retail price based on current market conditions, along with the diamond’s specifications and available video. Users can also purchase a formal appraisal from Judith Capital, or request a quote from Judith Capital’s insurance partner. The process takes approximately 30 seconds and does not require a user account.

Diamond Research gives consumers direct access to the company’s proprietary diamond intelligence without requiring a subscription or account. For $2, a user can enter the grading report number for a GIA-graded natural diamond and receive research designed to answer one of the most fundamental questions surrounding a diamond purchase: is the price reasonable in the current market?

The service applies Judith Capital’s existing analytics and patent-pending appraisal technology to individual diamonds, producing the company’s estimated reasonable retail price based on current market conditions. Research also includes specifications for the diamond and available video, giving users a quick way to examine a specific diamond before making a purchasing decision.

Importantly, the diamond does not need to be currently offered for sale through Judith Capital or listed in the global marketplace. Diamond Research can be used to evaluate GIA-graded natural diamonds encountered elsewhere, including diamonds offered by another retailer or private seller and diamonds already held in a personal collection. This makes the service useful both before and after a purchase, including while a recently purchased diamond remains within a retailer’s return period.

Diamond Research also creates a direct path to Judith Capital’s formal appraisal service. When an appraisal is available for the diamond researched, users can purchase a PDF appraisal for $10 containing dealer cost, replacement value, and the six comparable diamonds used in the valuation. Users may also request a complimentary insurance quote from Judith Capital’s insurance partner.

The service is designed to remove much of the friction traditionally associated with obtaining an independent opinion about a diamond. No membership or user account is required, and the automated research process generally takes approximately 30 seconds from the time a grading report number is submitted.

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) launches JUDITH + AI, a first-party machine-readable information and intelligence interface that allows visitors to discuss Judith Capital and selected current market data using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and other third-party artificial intelligence platforms.

Rather than developing a proprietary company chatbot, Judith Capital has taken a different approach: provide independent AI platforms with authoritative first-party information and selected machine-readable intelligence, and allow those platforms to provide the conversational interface. Visitors can access JUDITH + AI through the blue button on the Judith Capital website, select their preferred AI platform, and begin a conversation.

JUDITH + AI combines a substantial first-party Judith Capital knowledge base with companion resources containing current and historical information. The system can provide context about Judith Capital’s business, products, policies, technology, history, and terminology while also making selected market intelligence directly available for AI analysis. Current resources include gold and diamond market analytics, sanitized Hotlist information, stale diamond intelligence, and Judith Capital’s official announcement history.

The diamond analytics component allows an AI platform to examine Judith Capital’s current natural diamond market data together with historical periods extending through the preceding year. Users can ask ordinary conversational questions about inventory, pricing, market activity, diamond characteristics, geographic distribution, historical changes, or other relationships supported by the data without needing to operate analytics software themselves.

Diamond Desk subscribers can take the system substantially further by combining Judith Capital’s downloadable current diamond inventory with the analytics already available through JUDITH + AI. A subscriber can upload an inventory file into an active JUDITH + AI conversation and ask the AI to analyze the actual diamonds against Judith Capital’s diamond analytics. This connection between current diamond inventory and Judith Capital’s analytics is the most powerful capability of JUDITH + AI when used in conjunction with Diamond Desk subscription. A sample inventory file is publicly available for users who want to test the capability.

The underlying conversation remains with the user’s selected AI provider rather than Judith Capital. Judith Capital does not operate the third-party AI platform, control its conclusions, or require it to characterize Judith Capital favorably. The AI may explain, compare, calculate, contextualize, question, or criticize the first-party information supplied to it, allowing the visitor to explore Judith Capital at whatever level of detail is useful.

The architecture also allows JUDITH + AI to improve without Judith Capital developing the underlying artificial intelligence. Judith Capital can continue expanding its first-party knowledge, historical datasets, analytics, and machine-readable intelligence while independent AI platforms continue improving their own reasoning and analytical capabilities. The same blue button can therefore become substantially more capable over time without requiring Judith Capital to replace the conversational technology behind it.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
August 20, 2026

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) obtains patent-pending status for two of its diamond market intelligence technologies: automating diamond appraisals and finding diamonds that dealers have priced abnormally low.

The first, titled “Computer-Implemented Diamond Appraisal Using Active-Market Comparable Diamonds,” is technology for determining a market-based value of a diamond using grading report information and pricing information for comparable diamonds currently offered in the marketplace. The technology brings greater accountability to diamond pricing by providing an independent, market-based measure of what a diamond is reasonably worth. This means that a diamond can be appraised by comparing it with other diamonds actually being offered for sale around the world at the time of appraisal, rather than simply accepting an appraisal value without knowing how it compares with the current market.

The second, titled “Computer-Implemented Identification of Diamond Market Pricing Opportunities,” is diamond market intelligence technology for analyzing pricing information across a population of diamonds and identifying diamonds exhibiting unusual pricing conditions or offered substantially below a determined market value. The technology automatically searches for diamonds available for purchase around the world and identifies those with disproportionately low prices. This means exceptional buying opportunities can be identified automatically while they are still available.

The two technologies are separate but complementary. One helps determine whether the price of a particular diamond makes sense, while the other goes out and finds diamonds whose prices stand out as unusually low. This gives buyers better information about the diamonds already in front of them while also uncovering opportunities they may never have found on their own. Together, they are designed to make excessive diamond markups readily identifiable and reduce the risk of paying a price that the broader market does not support.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
June 9, 2026

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) transitions operations around a private studio format, and discontinues secondhand dealer operations to improve its risk profile and customer privacy.

As Judith Capital’s business has evolved, a traditional public-facing location has become increasingly unnecessary. A growing portion of the company’s work now centers on technology and services that can be delivered digitally, while its diamond and gold business is better suited to private client relationships than conventional retail operations.

The transition also includes the voluntary discontinuation of Judith Capital’s secondhand dealer operations. Although secondhand buying played an important role in the company’s early development, it carries regulatory and recordkeeping requirements that no longer align with the direction of the business. Eliminating those operations reduces exposure to fraud associated with public secondhand acquisitions. By discontinuing secondhand dealing entirely, Judith Capital also eliminates the inspection and customer-record requirements that accompany that activity.

The private studio model provides greater discretion for clients by reducing the amount of personal information Judith Capital is required to collect and maintain as part of ordinary transactions. It also allows the company to focus its physical operations on the areas where an in-person environment remains valuable while continuing to expand services that do not require clients to visit a retail location.

Judith Capital will continue operating from Henderson, Nevada, with consultations arranged privately by appointment. The change reflects a deliberate move toward a quieter operating model built around discretion and the evolving needs of the business.

April 14, 2026

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) evolves Judith Capital Buyers Club into Diamond Desk and expands it into a full diamond intelligence platform, integrating inventory research by GIA grading report number, available diamond media, analytics, stale diamond detection, and broader access to an upgraded appraisal system with stronger global comp selection, verification features, and downloadable reports. Subscribers receive a monthly allotment of appraisals.

The company has expanded access to its appraisal system following a substantial upgrade to the underlying valuation process. The system now evaluates a diamond against comparable diamonds currently available in the global marketplace, and uses stronger comp selection to produce a more defensible opinion of value. Appraisals include the selected comparable diamonds and verification information in a downloadable report, giving users visibility into the market evidence supporting the valuation.

Diamond Desk now brings important capabilities together, giving subscribers direct visibility into the global diamond inventory itself, including access to analytics features. Subscribers can research the company’s available inventory and access videos of specific diamonds when available. Diamond Desk also now incorporates Judith Capital Analytics and Stale Diamond Checker, bringing true market intelligence into the membership experience alongside the discounted pricing on diamonds established through the legacy Judith Capital Buyers Club.

December 11, 2025

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) launches a first-of-its-kind consumer tool enabling instant verification of whether a natural diamond has remained unsold in the global supply chain for more than 90 days.

The company’s new automated tool, dubbed Stale Diamond Checker, continuously compares the current global supply against historical market inventory to identify natural diamonds that have remained available for at least 90 consecutive days.

A diamond remaining on the market for an extended period provides information that is difficult for an individual buyer to observe independently. Judith Capital believes knowing how long a diamond has remained available can provide useful context when evaluating a purchase and may create additional negotiating leverage.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
August 19, 2025

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) launches Judith Capital Analytics, providing real-time diamond supply monitoring and downloadable inventory data. Designed as a consumer-facing service to challenge B2B-only providers.

Judith Capital has reached a new stage in the development of its diamond platform. By continuously collecting data from the global wholesale market, the company can now compare current inventory against historical observations and analyze how individual diamonds and the broader market change over time.

The resulting analytics extend well beyond a snapshot of diamonds currently available. Judith Capital can measure changes in market inventory, observe pricing behavior over time and identify how long individual diamonds remain available. The same historical data can reveal differences in market behavior across diamond characteristics while providing a foundation for increasingly sophisticated analysis as the dataset continues to grow.

Judith Capital Analytics makes a portion of this market intelligence available directly to consumers through real-time supply monitoring and downloadable inventory data. Much of the diamond industry’s inventory technology has traditionally been designed for business-to-business use, and Judith Capital is developing its platform around the idea that individual buyers should also have access to meaningful information about the market in which they are purchasing.

The company expects its growing historical dataset and analytics capabilities to serve as a foundation for future diamond technologies. As the platform continues collecting market observations, Judith Capital intends to develop new ways of using that information to help understand diamond pricing and market behavior.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
July 16, 2025

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) launches Judith Capital Buyers Club, a subscription service giving members exclusive access to natural diamond brokerage at 6%, and an unlimited 50% discount on lab-grown diamonds.

The company spent the first half of 2025 expanding its diamond platform with a focus on scalability. Additional supplier relationships increased access to diamonds available through the global marketplace, while continued technology development strengthened the infrastructure needed to support a growing number of clients.

The Buyers Club builds on that foundation by introducing a subscription model for clients who regularly purchase loose diamonds. Members receive natural diamond brokerage at a 6% fee and an unlimited 50% discount on lab-grown diamonds, extending the benefits of Judith Capital’s expanded sourcing capabilities directly to subscribers.

The program represents the next stage of Judith Capital’s diamond business as the company continues developing a more scalable approach to sourcing and selling loose diamonds.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
December 9, 2024

Judith Capital (Henderson, Nevada) rebrands from Joyas Vegas, adopting a name with personal meaning and long-term vision.

The change follows a review of the Joyas Vegas name during the federal trademark process and comes at a useful point in the company’s development. Still early enough to change direction without abandoning an established brand, the company is taking the opportunity to choose a name better suited to what the business is becoming.

The company’s direction has expanded beyond the concept suggested by Joyas Vegas. The mission has become clear: operate as a private diamond and gold studio while developing proprietary diamond intelligence systems, automated research tools, appraisal technologies, and material testing capabilities. A broader identity is needed for a company intended to work across both the commercial and technical sides of diamonds and precious metals.

Judith Capital was selected after an extensive naming process. “Judith” is the name of founder Daniel Osterday’s mother, giving the company a permanent personal connection, while “Capital” provides room for a business intended to extend beyond traditional jewelry retail. The name also proved practical for long-term brand development, with the corresponding domain and social media identities available.

The rebrand establishes Judith Capital as the identity under which the company will move forward. The name is deliberately broad enough to accommodate the company’s vision.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
October 15, 2024

Joyas Vegas (Henderson, Nevada) helps modernize City of Henderson secondhand dealer regulations. Following eight months of engagement with the City of Henderson to expand availability of Category B Class II Secondhand Dealer licenses, Ordinance No. 4041 passed on October 15, 2024. Joyas Vegas subsequently received a Secondhand Dealer license for secondhand gold and jewelry acquisitions, becoming the first company to operate under the expanded framework.

When Joyas Vegas began pursuing a secondhand dealer license in early 2024, Henderson Municipal Code limited the number of Category B Class II licenses to just 10 citywide, and all 10 were already held. Rather than structure the business around a different license category that did not fit its intended operations, Joyas Vegas began working with the City of Henderson to modernize a licensing framework that had been established when the city was significantly smaller.

Over the following eight months, company founder Daniel Osterday attended City Council meetings and worked with city officials to explain why the fixed licensing cap no longer reflected the size of Henderson or the needs of businesses seeking to enter the market. Joyas Vegas maintained a completed license application with the city throughout the process, updating portions of the application as necessary while the regulatory change moved forward.

The resulting ordinance replaced the fixed cap with a licensing framework tied to Henderson’s population, allowing the number of available licenses to grow with the city. The change was incorporated into Ordinance No. 4041, which passed on October 15, 2024.
