GEMERA is a crypto-token backed by Colombian emeralds which provide a blockchain based platform where the tokens can be redeemed for physical emeralds.
The project enables anyone to invest in Colombian emeralds by connecting producers and investors, without an intermediary, in a more democratic, accessible, fast and transparent manner.
GEMERA Project has many advantages, which includes No middleman, Trusted records using decentralized technologies, Incentives for small investments, Excellent store of value (crisis-proof), Partial investments, Tradeable in real time, Borderless, and Being an emerald connoisseur is not necessary.
The project has established an alliance with major Colombian emerald producers who provided emeralds that are already certified and stored in secure vaults in Hong Kong.
The value of emerald has increased by 135% since 2013, and it is 20 times scarcer than diamonds. Those are some of the reasons why investing in emeralds is becoming very popular.
