Marketing automation for repair-ready, anniversary, and birthday touches. Real-time multi-location reporting. Transparent $99/month pricing across 4,000+ stores.

The Edge Wins On

Deep jewelry-specific workflows for appraisals, repairs, and custom orders. A strong industry footprint among independent jewelers who have used it for years. Comprehensive repair envelope tracking. A familiar option for traditional jewelry stores that want a dedicated, long-established jewelry point of sale.

Who Should Choose Which

Choose The Edge if you run a traditional jewelry store, you want a long-established jewelry-specific point of sale, and you do not need estate lending or live multi-channel eCommerce synced to your inventory.

Choose Bravo if you want a cloud-native jewelry point of sale with the same appraisal and repair depth, you do estate buying or extend loans on jewelry, you want AI pricing on intake and a branded webstore with live channel sync, and you prefer real-time multi-location reporting and transparent pricing.

Our Recommendation
