FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE





AthleteGEM™: Leading the Way in NIL Monetization with Signature Natural Diamonds—Empowering Athletes and Rewarding Fans with Tangible Tributes to Legacy


AthleteGEM™ is setting a new standard in the NIL landscape, empowering athletes to immortalize their legacies in rare, ethically sourced natural diamonds, while offering fans, collectors, and donors a tangible expression of their admiration.


Through an exclusive collaboration with VD Global, a De Beers Diamond Sightholder, AthleteGEM™ bridges the $94.9 billion diamond industry with the $227.2 billion sports memorabilia market projected by 2032.


“This is more than a diamond; this is your legacy, immortalized,” said Danny White, Founder and CEO of AthleteGEM™.Natural diamonds—most precious, uniquely rare, and undeniably real—are the ultimate medium to preserve an athlete’s legacy in tangible form.”


Game Recognizes Game—Don’t Miss Out


During its 10-day beta launch, AthleteGEM™ secured commitments from nearly 100 athletes across sports and levels. These trailblazers are embracing a program that combines luxury, exclusivity, and enduring value.


“Our Signature Natural Diamond program isn’t just about a product—it’s about preserving what matters most: your legacy,” said White. “For too long, many athletes—especially those at smaller schools—have been left behind in the NIL boom. AthleteGEM™ is here to change that, offering every athlete the chance to create something extraordinary and lasting. We’re leveling the playing field, one natural diamond at a time.”
