Fura Gems, The Transparent Journey of Gems

In 2017, Fura Gems embarked on a visionary mission to reshape the colored gemstone industry while maintaining sustainability, ethics, and transparency. With a focus on rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, Fura Gems has been at the forefront of responsible mining and marketing practices, respecting both the environment and the communities involved in the process. One of the key pillars of this mission has been the implementation of cutting-edge Provenance Proof blockchain technology. This innovation has revolutionized the journey of colored gemstones, making it transparent and sustainable from mine to market. The company understands the importance of safeguarding the environment, upholding human rights, and benefitting local communities in the regions where they operate. To full fill these objectives, traceability plays a pivotal role.

Fura Gems was among the early adopters of Provenance Proof blockchain technology. This blockchain solution is uniquely designed to provide secure and reliable data on the origin and authenticity of gemstones. Its primary purpose is to combat the presence of counterfeit or unethically sourced gems in the market. The Provenance Proof blockchain acts as a digital passport, specifically designed by keeping all stakeholders involved in the gemstone value chain. This chain includes every step, from the gemstone's source to its destination.

Fura Gems utilizes this blockchain to register and authenticate the origin of each gemstone it extracts. The moment a gemstone is mined, critical information such as its origin, weight, quality, and ethical sourcing certifications are recorded in a digital ledger. This guarantees the integrity of the data and provides an unalterable record of the gemstone's journey.

As gemstones move through the supply chain, from miners to dealers, manufacturers, and retailers, each participant has the ability to update the blockchain with pertinent information. This includes details regarding cutting, polishing, transportation, and any changes in ownership.

Upon the sale of a gemstone through Fura auctions in Bangkok or in Bogotá, the certificate is transferred to the Fura buyers. This not only equips the buyer with comprehensive documentation about their purchase but also places the responsibility on them to maintain the gemstone's traceability in all subsequent steps.

Fura Gems continues to be a forerunner in the colored gemstone industry, not only delivering exquisite gemstones but also championing a sustainable, ethical, and transparent future for the entire sector. With Provenance Proof blockchain technology, they have set a new standard for responsible sourcing and traceability in the world of colored gemstones.
