Tokenizing Physical Gemstones as RWAs

A gemstone is an awkward RWA: high value, small size, treatments that change price, and origin stories that laboratories may or may not support. Tokenizing it only works if those facts sit in the file before a token exists.

Gem-specific steps

  • Species, variety, weight, cut and treatment disclosure.
  • Independent report (SSEF, GΓΌbelin, GIA, GRS, IGI β€” as applicable).
  • Sealed parcel and vault log. See custody.
  • A Digital Asset Passport that a third party can read.
  • Token terms that explain redemption.
