The member app
A private member floor for the gem trade
ElbeeGems Community is the member app for dealers, cutters, miners, labs, jewelers, and collectors. It is for sourcing, clocks, and private rooms — not the public boutique, and not a shop checkout.
Offers and bids are practice only. Nothing is charged.
What the app is for
- Home House notes, stone photos, and listings in one list. React, comment, or open the lot behind a post.
- Market Browse listed stones with origin, weight, treatment, and papers. Send an offer — it opens a private room.
- Live Member clocks with a starting bid and a raise. Follow a lot. A bid is an offer to the house, not a charge.
- Inbox Deal rooms, papers, and group chats. Accept or decline an invite. The record stays in the room.
- Network Find a house by craft. Follow them. Write when you are ready to deal. Pending seats stay off this list.
Install on Android
- Download the test APK on your phone (version 1.0.2).
- Open the file. If Android asks, allow installs from that source, then open it again.
- Install over the previous ElbeeGems app if you already have it.
- Open ElbeeGems and create your own seat.
iPhone is not in this test round. Use an Android phone, or we will send a later iOS build.
Create your seat
- On the sign-in screen, tap Join the house.
- Enter your real full name. It cannot be changed later — this stops bogus seats.
- Use an email you can open now. A confirmation code is sent there from
support@community.elbeegems.com. - Choose a password (8 or more characters) and enter it twice.
- Select your country and one or more crafts (for example Cutter and Dealer).
- Name the member or house who invited you. This is used when your seat is reviewed.
- Accept the House rules, Terms, and Privacy, then create the account.
- Enter the code from your inbox. After that you can sign in.
New seats stay pending until they are reviewed. You can look around. Writing, listing, and appearing on Network wait until approval. If the code does not arrive, check spam, then use Resend code in the app.
A short walkthrough
- Register and confirm your email, then sign in. Home should read ElbeeGems Community in the header.
- Open a Home post. View photos, add a reaction or a comment.
- Go to Market. Open a stone, tap the owner name, then try Offer if your seat is approved. Read the responsible-action prompt before you send it.
- Go to Live. Open a clock. Check the bid list and comments. Follow the lot if you want.
- Open Inbox once someone writes you, or start a room from a profile.
- Open Network. Filter by craft (for example Cutter). Open a profile and Follow or Message.
Please keep in mind
- This build talks to the live test API. Data is shared among testers — treat it as a practice floor.
- A bid or an offer is a message, not a payment.
- Photos on posts, listings, and clocks may upload in the background. A banner tells you when they are up.
- If something breaks, note the screen, what you tapped, and a screenshot if you can.
