How it works

A gemstone journey built on connected records. 

Each stage adds to the gemstone's provenance, creating a continuous record of origin, transformation and movement. The result is a journey that businesses can stand behind and buyers can understand with greater clarity. 

  1. Step 1

    Mine

    Origin, location, and source information recorded.

  2. Step 2

    Cutter

    Transformation, measurements, and processing added. 

  3. Step 3

    Jeweller

    Product creation and craftsmanship recorded. 

  4. Step 4

    Exporter

    Shipment and movement information is connected. 

  5. Step 5

    Buyer

    Scans the QR code and sees the provenance made available to them.

What changes for you

Where provenance becomes business value.

01

Provenance travels with the product

The information built around the gemstone remains connected as it moves through different businesses and markets. 

02

Your expertise stays visible

The origin, expertise, and transformation added by your business remain part of the gemstone's documented journey and value. 

03

Records that support buyer conversations

You can support discussions around origin and product history with structured provenance instead of relying only on explanation. 

04

You control your data

You decide what is recorded, what stays private, and what is shared with other participants or buyers.

One scan

From provenance to commercial asset. 

Instead of relying on disconnected documents or verbal explanations, the record brings origin, transformation, product details and supporting evidence into one clear view.

It gives buyers a more complete understanding of the gemstone’s journey and gives businesses a more structured way to communicate the value added along the way.
