IGI, alliance with GET Diamonds, launches DDC

Oct 01, 2025

Illustrative image 1International Gemological Institute (IGI), in partnership with GET Diamonds and YourProof.id, announced the global launch of its Digital Diamond Certificate (DDC) — a blockchain-powered upgrade to the traditional paper grading report.

Starting today, IGI clients worldwide can request the digital certificate with any Natural Diamond Grading Certificate or Audit Report and can also digitise existing certificates. Following the launch, customers worldwide can now request the blockchain certificate during diamond submissions or through IGI’s sales team.

DDC uses Ethereum blockchain-compliant smart contracts to securely bind a digital record to each physical diamond, making grading reports immutable and tamper-proof. Each certificate stores a diamond’s quality, provenance, and ownership history — offering retailers and consumers lasting confidence in their purchases.

Leadership Commentary! IGI Global CEO Tehmasp Printer stated, “At IGI, we have always been at the forefront of innovation in diamond certification. By leveraging blockchain, we are not only ensuring transparency and trust but also future proofing the diamond trade. This initiative aligns with our vision of empowering both jewellers and consumers with technology-driven solutions that enhance confidence in every diamond purchase.”

GET Diamonds CEO Tim Goodman added, “Over 80% of customers misplace their paper certificates within months of purchase. By digitising the certificate and anchoring it on the blockchain, we ensure that ownership records and gem characteristics are preserved forever. It only takes a minute to set up a digital wallet, and at a very affordable price, making secure provenance accessible to all.”

Goodman concluded, “Consumers globally are demanding more transparency and authenticity in their purchases. The DDC addresses these expectations by offering a digital, tamper-proof record of each diamond’s origin and attributes. Digital wallets are becoming as common as email, and blockchain is no longer just for tech enthusiasts. By launching globally — starting from Mumbai — IGI is empowering jewellers and consumers to protect the value of their diamonds at a time when trust in the category is more important than ever.”

The Digital Diamond Certificate is now available from IGI.
