Investment Categories
We offer you the opportunity to invest in physical or tokenized gemstones that meet the highest quality standards and are certified by internationally recognized institutions.
Physically
The physical form of investment offers the tangible ownership of a genuine natural gemstone. Due to its independence from digital platforms, physical ownership provides enhanced anonymity. Additionally, it does not require the possession of a digital wallet or an internet connection.
Tokenized
The tokenized form of investment offers digital ownership of a commodity token on the Ethereum blockchain, which is 100% backed by a natural gemstone. Tokenized ownership provides increased flexibility through digital trading options on the blockchain.
Frequently Asked Questions
For physical gemstones that you store yourself without choosing the offered bonded warehouse, you determine the storage costs. For tokenized gemstones, a 0.4% p.a. storage fee is charged due to storage in a Swiss bank safe deposit box and the elimination of loss risk.
The purchase and sale of tokenized gemstones are quick and digital, conducted through blockchain-based platforms. Proof of ownership is automatically updated on the blockchain. In contrast, buying and selling physical gemstones can be more time-consuming, as finding a suitable buyer is often more challenging due to local market constraints and in-person sales. Tokenized gemstones, on the other hand, offer the advantage of global market access, making trading faster and more straightforward.
Physical gemstones can be easily passed on as part of an estate. Tokenized gemstones, however, require special arrangements to ensure heirs have access to the digital wallets where the tokens are stored, necessitating additional planning.
