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

Transforming Trust, Ownership & the Retail Diamond Experience

Las Vegas, 5 June 2025 – In a major advancement for the global diamond industry, GET Diamonds.com, in collaboration withYourProof.id, will officially launch the world’s first blockchain-based Digital Diamond Certificate (DDC) tomorrow at the JCK Show in Las Vegas, Friday 6 June 2025. The launch will also be presented at the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) Presidents’ Meeting in New York on 11 June.

The DDC replaces the traditional paper and PDF-based diamond grading certificate with a tamper-proof, blockchain-backed digital certificate, permanently tied to the physical diamond and stored securely in a digital wallet. These certificates empower both consumers and professionals to verify, transfer, protect, and insure their certified diamonds — instantly and with total confidence.

“Roughly 80% of customers lose their paper diamond certificates within months of purchase,” said Tim Goodman, 5th generation diamantaire, CEO of Get-Diamonds and the visionary behind the DDC. “They’re often tossed into a drawer and forgotten or lost. With YourProof.id that certificate becomes a secure, digital asset — portable, verifiable, and impossible to misplace.”

GET-Diamonds, one of the world’s largest B2B diamond trading platforms with 29,000 approved members, is owned by the World Federation of Diamond Bourses and operated by Australia and Middle East-based YourDiamonds Pty Ltd.

The Digital Diamond Certificates may be acquired from the International Gemmological Institute (IGI). Customers can request a DDC for any newly graded diamond or have IGI issue an independent Audit Report verifying an existing lab certificate from any other Lab. This audit report can then be digitised into a blockchain-based DDC — a game-changer for sight-unseen diamond deals.

Each YourProof.id certificate is currently designed to include the following options:

• Verified quality (Grading Certificate and/or Audit Report)
• Provenance and Traceability Report (if available)
• High-resolution images and 360° video
• Record of ownership via blockchain smart contract
• Flagging Lost/Stolen including registry
• Audit, resale, and insurance tools & records
  

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

With over 3.4 billion people use digital wallets worldwide; the timing couldn’t be better. Certificates start at just USD $25, making blockchain verification accessible for the everyday consumer and scalable for trade professionals.

The launch reflects the YourProof.id broader mission:

"To redefine trust and transparency in the diamond industry by offering tamper-proof, blockchain-based certification that protects both heritage and value. And to provide retailers with the digital tools to enhance their customer’s digital experience with add-ons like promotions, branding and person2person expressions of love and affection"

The DDC platform is built on Ethereum smart contracts, using IPFS and AWS S3 for secure media storage. It complies with global KYC/AML and GDPR standards, ensuring long-term integrity and regulatory readiness.
