The RWA thesis

Real-world assets are moving on-chain.

Tokenized real-world assets have grown into a multi-billion-dollar market (rwa.xyz, live data) as investors seek on-chain assets with genuine, tangible backing — not speculation. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink puts it this way: "every asset can be tokenized." Most attention so far has gone to treasuries and real estate; recent moves are bringing commodities on-chain too, including $280M in certified diamonds in the UAE (CoinDesk). MyGemsNFT brings a different hard asset on-chain: certified natural gemstones — a historically stable store of value, now liquid and verifiable. New to the idea? Read our guide to tokenized gems and how gemstone tokenization works.

⛓

Tangible backing

Each token is backed 1:1 by a certified physical gemstone in custody — real value, not a digital promise.

⇄

Liquidity

Hard assets have always been illiquid. As an ERC-721 on Ethereum, each gem trades 24/7 on the open market.

◎

Uncorrelated

Precious gemstones hold value independently of crypto and equity markets — a diversifying store of value.


The problem

Gemstone investing is opaque, risky, and hard to verify.

⛓

Investment barriers

Traditional gemstone investing is opaque, illiquid, and reserved for insiders.

🔒

Insecurity

Physical gems require trusted vaults or safekeeping, which is costly and inconvenient.

⚠

Counterfeits

Authenticity and provenance are difficult to verify — the risk of a fake is real.


The solution

One certified gem. One token. Hold or redeem.

Each NFT is backed 1:1 by a certified natural gemstone, held in a secure vault and audited periodically by notarial deed. You decide what to do with it.

⬗

Ease

Buy, hold, and redeem from a simple Web3 interface. Connect your wallet and you're in.

◈

Security

Transparent on-chain ownership. Gems stored in a professional vault until you redeem.

✓

Authenticity

Every NFT carries a lab-certified report — IGI, AIG, GFCO and others, by stone.

FAQ

Tokenized gems, answered.

What are tokenized gems?

Tokenized gems are physical gemstones represented by a token on a blockchain. With MyGemsNFT, each ERC-721 NFT on Ethereum is backed 1:1 by one certified natural gemstone held in secure custody. Owning the NFT means owning that specific stone: you can hold it, trade it, or redeem it for the physical gem. Read the full guide.

What is a Real-World Asset (RWA) NFT?

A Real-World Asset (RWA) NFT is a token on a blockchain that represents ownership of a tangible physical asset. In MyGemsNFT, each NFT is backed 1:1 by a certified natural gemstone held in secure custody, so the token carries genuine intrinsic value rather than being a purely digital collectible.

How do I redeem my MyGemsNFT for the physical gemstone?

Redemption takes four steps: fill out the redemption form on the website with your shipping details; send your NFT to the public MyGemsNFT Redeemed wallet (visible on OpenSea); provide shipping information; and receive your certified gemstone at your door via FedEx or UPS, fully insured and trackable.

Is there a fee to redeem the gemstone?

No. There is no redemption fee, and insured worldwide shipping of the physical stone is included in the NFT price.

Where is the physical gemstone stored?

Each certified gemstone is held in a professional vault under audited custody until the holder chooses to redeem it. Redeemed NFTs are locked in a public Redeemed wallet that anyone can verify on OpenSea, ensuring one stone exists once with no double redemptions.

Are the gemstones certified?

Yes. Every gemstone in the collection carries a report from a recognized gemological laboratory — IGI, AIG, GFCO, ALGT or GGI, depending on the stone.

What blockchain and token standard does MyGemsNFT use?

MyGemsNFT is built on Ethereum using the ERC-721 token standard, allowing each gemstone-backed NFT to be traded 24/7 on the open market via OpenSea.
