Gloware brings AI-native grading to the $300B gemstone market — from diamonds to coloured stones. Objective. Instantaneous. Traceable.
The global gemstone market — spanning rough and polished diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and more — relies almost entirely on a handful of human graders at labs like GIA, IGI, and AGS. These experts are brilliant, but they are slow, expensive, and inconsistent.
Studies show grading discrepancies of 30–40% between different human graders on identical stones. A single D-flawless diamond can receive wildly different grades depending on the day, the grader, or the lab — a problem that costs buyers, sellers, and insurers hundreds of millions annually.
The coloured stone market is worse. Rubies, sapphires, and emeralds have even less standardised grading infrastructure — leaving origin determination, treatment history, and valuation largely subjective.
Rough and polished dealers need grade certainty before committing capital. Gloware cuts due diligence from weeks to seconds — without lab queues.
Insurers underwriting jewellery policies and valuers writing replacement cost reports need objective, defensible, and repeatable grade data.
Independent grading labs and new regional certification bodies can use Gloware as an AI co-grader — accelerating volume while maintaining or exceeding human grader consistency.
The AI diamond grading market is growing at 15.6% CAGR, projected to reach $3.2B by 2034. But most solutions address only diamonds — and only the Four Cs. Gloware is the first platform to unify grading, origin, authenticity, and price intelligence across the full gemstone spectrum.
Our models are trained on proprietary spectroscopic and imaging data covering millions of certified stones, with continuous retraining as new treatment techniques emerge. We don't replace expert gemologists — we give them the equivalent of a PhD colleague who never sleeps.
"The $300B gemstone market still runs on clipboard grades and paper certificates. We're bringing it into the same century as the rest of finance."
Pranshu Chourasia founded Gloware from a simple and profound observation: the world's most expensive materials per gram are still evaluated the same way they were a century ago — by a person, under a loupe, in a lab with a waiting list.
A builder at the intersection of computer vision and deep vertical markets, Pranshu has spent years studying how information asymmetry drives value destruction in high-trust commodity markets. The gemstone industry — where a single letter grade can mean a $20,000 difference in a diamond's price — is perhaps the most acute example in the world.
Gloware is his answer: not a digitisation of the existing system, but a fundamental rethink of what grading intelligence looks like when you remove human bias from the equation. The vision is a universal gem ID layer — one cryptographically verified record for every stone that moves through the global market.
We're onboarding our first cohort of trading firms, grading labs, and insurance partners. Spots are limited.
