Blockchain Technology Revolutionizing the Diamond Industry: A Look at Everledger’s Impact

The jewelry industry is undergoing a transformation with the adoption of blockchain technology to enhance transparency and traceability in the diamond supply chain. Everledger, founded by Leanne Kemp in 2015, has paved the way for this change with its global digital registry.

In May 2022, the Tracr blockchain platform, launched by De Beers Group, has registered over a million rough diamonds at the source and 110,000 diamonds at the manufacturer level. This initiative aims to provide a permanent record of each diamond’s journey from the mine to the retail store, building trust and accountability in the industry.

Tracr CEO Wesley Tucker highlighted the platform’s scalability and customization features, allowing users to have their own instance tailored to their needs. Key industry players like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and Sarine Tech have joined the ecosystem, assigning each diamond a unique digital ID for provenance details.

Consumers are increasingly interested in the ethical sourcing of diamonds, and Tracr’s blockchain technology supports trade confidence by offering transparency and authenticity. Tiffany & Co. has even launched a limited edition line of digital and physical CryptoPunk pendants, leveraging blockchain for brand engagement.

The journey towards full adoption of blockchain technology is ongoing, with plans to onboard more industry players and integrate with existing technology platforms. Tracr envisions establishing a single, industry-wide platform to provide retailers and consumers with all the digital data they need for informed decisions.
