LENEXA, Kan., June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- JCK Las Vegas 2019 ? the largest jewelry convention in the world ? is one of the most anticipated events for business and networking in the diamond space. It draws 30,000 of the world's most influential industry professionals with their expertise and insight into the world of diamonds, and Diamante emerged as one of the most promising proponents of the technology that will change the way the diamond industry does payments and financing. Diamante team members Dinesh Patel, Erik Jens, Chirag Jetani, Kishan Vaghasia attended the conference along with Sam Proctor and Andrew Pedvis attending on behalf of Genesis Block, a leading blockchain-focused services platform.

Diamante Consortium has brought diamond industry participants across verticals ? from mining companies to jewelers, polishers, manufacturers, retailers and end customers ? on a unified platform to trade directly with each other. The consortium itself is built using Distributed Ledger Technology which makes transactions made on the blockchain network (Diamante Net) traceable, and reliable.
