Provenance travels with the product
The information built around the gemstone remains connected as it moves through different businesses and markets.
How it works

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.

What changes for you
Where provenance becomes business value.
Your expertise stays visible
The origin, expertise, and transformation added by your business remain part of the gemstone's documented journey and value.
Records that support buyer conversations
You can support discussions around origin and product history with structured provenance instead of relying only on explanation.
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.
