The Emerald Vault™
Permanent, verifiable authentication for every artwork we sell.
Why the Vault Exists
Authenticity is the single biggest risk in collecting contemporary art. Paper certificates get lost. Email threads disappear. Listings change. Galleries come and go. Collectors are left with uncertainty exactly when it matters most—years later.
The Emerald Vault™ exists to remove that uncertainty.
What Is The Emerald Vault
The Emerald Vault™ is Emerald Thinker’s proprietary authentication system. Each artwork sold through Emerald Thinker receives a dedicated record that documents its key details and verification status, designed to support long-term confidence and responsible collecting.
This is not a generic plug-in or outsourced tool. The Emerald Vault™ was built exclusively for Emerald Thinker.
What’s included in a Vault record
Each Emerald Vault™ record is created and maintained to provide a stable reference for the artwork over time. Records may include:
-
Artist name
-
Artwork title and year
-
Medium and materials
-
Dimensions
- High-resolution reference images
- Verification status
- Provenance notes and relevant documentation
- Sale and ownership status (as applicable)
Why Collectors Care
Collectors don’t just acquire a painting—they acquire responsibility for its history and future. The Emerald Vault™ supports that by providing:
Verified Authenticity
A clear verification reference designed to reduce doubt and confusion.
Provenance That Endures
A stable record intended to outlast paper documentation, inboxes, and changing website listings.
Confidence at Resale and Beyond
When you need to document the work for insurance, estate planning, collection management, or future resale, a reliable record matters.
How Collectors Use It
After acquiring an artwork, collectors can use the Emerald Vault™ to reference and verify the work’s record as needed. This supports practical collector needs, including:
-
-
Insurance documentation
-
Collection management
-
Condition and identification reference
-
Resale support and due diligence
-
Long-term provenance continuity
-
