Introducing Blockchain Technology to Diamond Industry

A diamond is the hardest material on Earth and has long-since been recognized for its beauty as a gemstone. Some 128 million carats of diamonds were estimated to have been produced from mines worldwide in 2016. Worldwide reserves are estimated to be some 750 million carats. Australia has the largest reserves, estimated at some 210 million carats. Diamonds increase drastically in value through processing from production to retail. In 2016, for example, mined rough diamonds had a production value of some 15.4 billion U.S. dollars. After polishing, this figure increased to 25.1 billion U.S. dollars. In 2016, the global diamond jewelry market value was approximately 80.1 billion U.S. dollars. Nearly half of the world's demand for polished diamonds comes from the United States, with a 47 percent share of global demand in 2016.
