World’s First Blockchain-Based Digital Diamond Certificate to Launch at JCK Las Vegas

A groundbreaking innovation is set to redefine the global diamond industry. GET-Diamonds.com, in collaboration with YourProof.id, will launch the world’s first blockchain-based Digital Diamond Certificate (DDC) at the JCK Jewelry Show in Las Vegas on 6 June 2025.

The DDC securely links a diamond’s grading certificate to a tamper-proof, blockchain record, accessible via a digital wallet. The certificate also allows retailers to attach customised content, including educational videos, brand promotions, and personal messages, creating a unique digital story for each diamond.

Tim Goodman, CEO of GET-Diamonds and YourProof.id, said, “Roughly 80% of customers lose their diamond certificates within months of purchase. They’re often tossed into a drawer and forgotten. With YourProof.id, a digital certificate becomes a secure, digital asset — portable, verifiable, and impossible to misplace.”

Built on Ethereum smart contracts and compliant with global KYC/AML and GDPR standards, the DDC is designed to enhance transparency while protecting brand reputation and value.

The initiative will be showcased again at the WFDB Presidents’ Meeting in New York on 10–11 June, with dignitaries such as Botswana President Duma Boko and US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick in attendance.

Priced from just $25, the DDC will be available to members of the WFDB and GET platform, with plans for integration of traceability reports from industry leader Sarine.

Goodman added, “We see this becoming a new global standard. Retailers will receive diamonds from their suppliers already certified with a DDC, add to them and transfer the DDC certificate instantly at point-of-sale to their customer’s digital wallet. If the customer doesn’t yet have a wallet, it only takes a minute to set one up — either in the retailer’s store or online.”
