The Road Towards an Open Gem and Jewelry Marketplace

The road towards an open diamond marketplace built on a trust chain is a reality with the ever-ledger. For a long, the gem and jewelry industry has suffered due to a lack of trust and provenance within the trading ecosystem. Plus, there have been several issues associated with the authenticity of gems and jewelry circulating within the supply chain. The answer to a majority of these problems can come with a digital ledger storing all transactional data and a smart contract mechanism validating them based on a set of pre-defined sets of regulatory compliances. Once the validating checks are verified, the smart contracts allow the transaction to pass through. The ecosystem of the trust-based transactional model allows every participant of the gem & jewelry supply chain to safely trade with each other within a robust business economic system designed for mutual growth.
