Diamonds may be timeless, but today, they’re also timely. On International Diamond Day, IBM is proud to shine a light on TrustChainTM, a project with IBM Blockchain that is helping to trace the provenance of diamonds used in engagement rings. TrustChain’s goal is to instill trust in the origin and ethical sourcing of jewelry—a mission we can all celebrate.
Do you know the story behind your ring? TrustChain, an initiative built on the IBM Blockchain Platform, is helping trace the provenance of diamonds and precious metals used in engagement rings. By tracking components of engagement rings on a blockchain, gold and diamond industry leaders are working to strengthen the backbone of ethical labor practices and consumer trust in the supply chain. TrustChain is initially tracking six styles of diamond and gold engagement rings, so when it comes to supporting ethically-sourced jewelry, you now have the power to say “I do.”
