What is diamond traceability?
Diamond traceability is the recorded and independently verifiable history of a diamond's origin, certificate and changes of ownership (its chain of custody) from the mine to its current owner.
In short
GemsTrace gives every stone a digital identity linked to its certificate number. From the moment a stone is registered, each step — production, certification, wholesaler, jeweller and buyer — is stored as a time-stamped record. Anyone can check a stone's origin, certificate status and any lost/stolen alert in seconds using the certificate number or a shared link.
How does it work?
- 1
Registration
A jeweller or dealer registers the stone with its certificate number (GIA, IGI, HRD) and attributes via the dashboard or the API.
- 2
Certificate matching
The certificate number is matched against the certificate source and the verification state is recorded.
- 3
Ownership transfer
When the stone is sold, a transfer event is recorded; sales coming from integrated B2B systems create the transfer automatically.
- 4
Verification
A buyer or anyone else searches by certificate number and sees the origin, certificate and chain summary. Personal ownership details are masked.
- 5
Risk signal
Stones reported lost or stolen are shown with a clear warning in the verification result.
Why does it matter?
Prevents fraud
Re-use of the same certificate number on more than one stone becomes visible at registration.
Transparent origin
Origin and certificate data no longer depend on a paper document; they can be verified independently.
Proves ownership
Provides a persistent ownership record and a lost/stolen registry if a stone is lost or stolen.
Trust at speed
An automatic trust profile for the jeweller, a verification that takes seconds for the buyer.
