NFT Certificates and Proof of Delivery for Fine Jewelry and Gemstones

Abstract

Fine jewelry is a unique class of ornaments composed of precious metals and gemstones. Premium-grade metals such as gold, platinum, and sliver, and gemstones such as pearls, diamonds, rubies, and emeralds are used use to make fine jewelry. Paper-based certificates are typically issued by retailers and producers for fine jewelry and gemstones as a proof of origin, sale, ownership, history, and quality. However, paper certificates are subject to counterfeiting, loss, or theft. In this paper, we show how nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and Ethereum blockchain can be used for digital certification, proof of ownership, sale history, and quality, as well as proof of delivery for fine jewelry and gemstones. We present the proposed system design and architecture with sequence diagrams covering key interactions for jewelry production, purchase, and sale, along with algorithms related to NFT minting, auctioning, ownership management, and physical delivery. We demonstrate that our proposed NFT and blockchain-based solution can provide superior alternative in terms of verifiability, traceability, immutability, and security when compared with paper-based certification and traditional auctioning, delivery and ownership management. We make our developed smart contracts and testing scripts publicly available on GitHub.

“…Furthermore, due to the implementation of a time stamp at every The primary objective of utilizing blockchain for jewelry and diamond tracking is to accurately monitor the origin, possession, and transportation of jewels across the supply chain. Tracking applications for diamonds and jewelry, which monitor the entire supply chain from mine to sale, encourage ethical practices through transparent recording systems [116][117][118]. This approach often relies on a set of fundamental procedures.…”

“…Tokenize : Tokenization is a procedure that involves splitting the text from documents into sequential tokens [29]- [31]. This process aims to divide the text into smaller units, such as words or subwords, for further analysis or processing [32], [33]. By tokenizing the text, it becomes organized into distinct units, enabling easier manipulation and understanding of the underlying information; 5.…”
