Tech firm Everledger, a digital transparency specialist, has partnered with Hari Krishna Exports (HK), Lucara Diamond Corp, and Gemological Institute of America (GIA) to share the provenance and characteristics of a special 30-carat diamond via its blockchain platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 30-carat round diamond originates from the Karowe Mine of Lucara Diamond in Botswana, and was cut and polished in HK\u2019s state-of-the-art manufacturing unit in Surat, India. HK customers will be able to register on the Everledger Platform to view the stone and access Hari Krishna’s large inventory of quality stones and their associated provenance stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leanne Kemp, CEO, Everledger, said, \u201cThis outstanding stone represents a perfect example of global excellence and sustainability. Supply chains are so much more than systems, structures and technologies; they are also people, whose story, safety and well-being must be upheld. Business leaders, especially those in technology, have an obligation to build the supply chain of the future with an unwavering commitment to human rights and safe practices for all workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The diamond\u2019s country of origin, Botswana, has been verified directly on the Everledger Platform via the GIA Diamond Origin Report, which uses scientific matching to provide confirmation of a diamond\u2019s country of origin by matching the faceted diamond to the original rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghanshyam Dholakia, Founder and MD, Hari Krishna Exports, added, \u201cThe production of a diamond of this size and quality requires investment from a large number of highly skilled stakeholders across the supply chain. We needed the most up-to-date technology to give this stone\u2019s buyer full access to the diamond\u2019s story. And the Everledger Platform brings this clarity to the market, together with GIA\u2019s brand recognition and tradition in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
