Virtus Registry, Inc. is an American provenance and market intelligence company covering diamonds, precious metals, and critical minerals. The platform operates two connected systems: a commodity registry that issues permanent, verifiable provenance passports for physical assets, and an intelligence desk that publishes composite pricing, the VDR-RDI rough diamond index, and The Provenance, our twice-monthly publication.
The registry spans five commodity classes: VDR (diamonds), VGR (gold), VPR (platinum), VSR (silver) and VCR (critical minerals). Every registered asset carries its origin, chain-of-custody and verification record, sealed with a cryptographic fingerprint that makes any alteration detectable. The intelligence desk draws on a 62-source network organized in a five-tier data hierarchy, from direct producer data down to composite estimates, documented in full in our methodology.
Virtus Registry is a Delaware corporation because the world's institutional buyers, insurers and regulators already trust American corporate law, American disclosure norms and USD settlement. "The American Provenance Standard" is a commitment: global data, governed and published to the standard American institutions expect.
Virtus Registry uses artificial intelligence to curate, synthesize and draft its intelligence products, including The Provenance and desk briefings. Every AI-assisted publication is grounded in named, linked source material and reviewed by the Virtus Registry Research Desk before release. AI-generated content is labeled as such. Nothing we publish constitutes investment, legal, or tax advice.
Virtus Registry's diamond verification workflows are aligned with the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme: registered rough is checked against KP export certificates and country-of-origin records. Virtus Registry is not itself a KP certifying authority and does not claim KP certification.
