As the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era explodes into a $2.5 billion industry, AthleteGEM™ is moving fast to redefine what it means to own, collect, and celebrate athlete legacies. By merging the enduring value of natural diamonds with athlete storytelling and the latest in blockchain and digital product passport technology, AthleteGEM™ is building the platform that’s setting the pace for NIL innovation in 2025 and beyond16.
A New Era: NIL Fueled By Diamonds
Traditional NIL memorabilia is fleeting and generic. AthleteGEM™ is the first to offer limited-edition, story-driven diamond collectibles—each authenticated, tracked, and digitally certified for provenance and athlete legacy.
With over 100 athletes signed in the first month and active collaborations with universities and collectives, AthleteGEM™ is already leading the charge for a new category of NIL opportunity126.

How AthleteGEM™ Works: More Than Just a Diamond
Blockchain-Backed Provenance: Every AthleteGEM™ Signature Diamond is tracked on Tracr™, the world’s leading diamond blockchain, ensuring 100% authenticity and transparent provenance from mine to collectible. This is the same technology trusted by De Beers and the global diamond industry.
Digital Product Passport (DPP): Each collectible is paired with an OriginAll Digital Product Passport, providing a tamper-proof digital record of the diamond’s journey, the athlete’s story, and exclusive content. Owners can instantly access origin data, athlete interviews, game highlights, and proof of authenticity—making every piece interactive and dynamic.
Wearable Legacy and Collectible Options: AthleteGEM™ offers more than just jewelry. Collectors can choose:
Single Signature Diamonds in luxury collectible cases—ideal for display, investment, or future customization, each with a Digital Product Passport.
Signature Diamond collectibles embedded in custom gold bar pendants, rings, or bespoke jewelry—designed to embody the athlete’s championship moment or career milestone, all digitally certified and DPP-enabled.
Every collectible is numbered, packaged in premium materials, and delivered with both digital and physical certificates of authenticity.
