BLNG in the New York Times
Cove Fund is proud to announce that our portfolio company, BLNG, has been featured in The New York Times for its groundbreaking work in revolutionizing the jewelry industry through artificial intelligence. The article, titled “Jewelry, Bling and Artificial Intelligence,” highlights how BLNG is transforming jewelry design and marketing by integrating advanced AI technologies.
BLNG’s platform empowers users to transform simple sketches, text prompts, or doodles into detailed 3D jewelry designs. This democratizes the design process, allowing both seasoned professionals and newcomers to bring their visions to life with unprecedented ease and speed.
Beyond design, BLNG’s Studio feature enables the generation of high-quality marketing content directly from CAD models. This streamlines the production of photorealistic images and videos, reducing the time and cost traditionally associated with product photography.
The Retail component offers a personalized shopping experience, allowing jewelers to guide customers through design choices and preferences. This not only enhances customer engagement but also helps retailers understand what their customers truly value, so they can deliver more relevant and meaningful experiences.
In an industry that values both tradition and innovation, BLNG strikes a balance by honoring the creativity and craftsmanship of jewelry-making while embracing the efficiencies and possibilities offered by AI. In the words of one of the founders, “To me, art is about excellence; it is about growing, about doing the most beautiful things…technology is not something that should scare you; it is something that should empower you to make better art.”
At Cove Fund, we invest in companies that challenge the status quo and offer scalable solutions to real-world problems. BLNG’s vision aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are excited to support their journey as they redefine the future of jewelry design and retail.
