Diamante Blockchain Makes Huge Impact at JCK Las Vegas 2019

JCK Las Vegas 2019 – the largest jewelry convention globally – is one of the most anticipated events for business and networking in the diamond space. It draws 30,000 of the world’s most influential industry professionals with their expertise and insight into the world of diamonds. Diamante emerged as one of the most promising proponents of the technology that will change the diamond industry’s payments and financing. Diamante team members Dinesh Patel, Erik Jens, Chirag Jetani, Kishan Vaghasia, attended the conference, and Sam Proctor and Andrew Pedvis attending on behalf of Genesis Block, a leading blockchain-focused services platform.

Diamante Consortium has brought diamond industry participants across verticals– from mining companies to jewelers, polishers, manufacturers, retailers, and end customers – on a unified platform to trade directly with each other. The consortium itself is built using Distributed Ledger Technology, making transactions made on the blockchain network (Diamante Net) traceable and reliable. Diamante has also introduced Diamante Corporate Payment, which enables real-time and low-cost settlement of payments.

The innovative implementation of the tech by Diamante demonstrates the adaptability of blockchain to suit the diamond industry’s needs. Implemented at scale, it would bring an unprecedented level of efficiency to diamond-based payments and finance.

Chirag Jetani, COO of Diamante Blockchain, said, “JCK unites a community that is shaping the future of the jewelry industry. Needless to say, the participants of the event are all forward-thinkers and open to explore the latest tech offerings to improve the jewelry sector. Our efforts with blockchain garnered a lot of interest, and we will see broader adoption of Distributed Ledger Technology in the industry pretty soon.”

Sam Proctor, Chief Executive Officer of Genesis Block, said, “We are motivated by the belief that Distributed Ledger Technology has the potential to impact supply chains across the economy, and diamonds are no exception. Diamante is clearly establishing itself as a leader in leveraging this technology to make the diamonds payment ecosystem more efficient and cost-effective.”

Erik Jens had his own observation to share, “At the JCK show, there was a clear trend in understanding the opportunities technological ecosystems, such distributed ledger technology, offer concerning driving efficiencies, connectivity, and collaboration, elements needed to enhance profitability but as important enhancing consumer trust and confidence in jewelry. After all, tomorrow’s customer is tech-innate, collaborative and global-minded, ethical and keen on social media online shopping.”
