HB Antwerp Bringing unparalleled transparancy to the diamond industry

The diamond industry has long struggled with transparency. Stones often change hands in opaque ways, making it nearly impossible to trace their origin. HB Antwerp wanted to revolutionize this by offering full traceability, from mine to market, but needed a secure, smart solution to make it happen.

Comate co-developed the HB Capsule: a high-tech, IoT-enabled mini-vault that stores diamonds and logs every step of their journey on the blockchain. Only authorized users can access the capsule’s data, which includes precise mining location and handling history. This innovation sets a new standard for traceability, empowering consumers and jewelers to make informed, ethical choices.
