Focus on locations where jewelry is commonly removed - bathrooms, security checkpoints, gyms, and spas. HERQ's discrete notification system alerts local jewelers and repair shops who often receive found jewelry.
Collectibles Recovery
Leverage HERQ's collector community network. Rare items often surface in unexpected places, and collectors are more likely to recognize valuable pieces and understand their importance.
