How GemPin In-House Escrow Works
A frictionless, 5-stage institutional workflow designed specifically for wholesale gemstone merchants, rough parcel buyers, and international jewelry houses.
Deal Room Agreement & Term Sheet Locked
Buyer and Seller agree on stone pricing, lab certification requirements, and inspection terms in the private GemPin Deal Room. The 2.0% platform escrow fee is automatically computed.
Buyer Deposits to Segregated Bank Custody
Buyer remits funds via SWIFT / MT103 wire transfer to the GemPin In-House Escrow Trust Account at Commercial Bank of Ceylon. Listing is instantly locked to protect buyer priority.
Bonded Insured Logistics Dispatch
Upon deposit verification, the Seller dispatches the gemstone parcel via accredited bonded carriers (Malca-Amit, Brinks, Ferrari, or FedEx Priority) with tamper-evident serial security seals.
3-5 Day Physical Lab Inspection Window
The buyer takes physical custody to examine clarity, color, and cut, and submit the gem for independent re-testing at NGJA, GIA, Lotus, or GRS to verify natural authenticity and treatment status.
Mutual Release & Instant Seller Payout
Upon buyer acceptance, funds are disbursed directly to the seller's verified bank account. If the gem is synthetic or materially misrepresented, a 100% deposit refund is returned to the buyer.
