Since 2021
Native to Web3, not adapted into it.
Chains NFT, January 2022: the first generative fine jewelry collection on the blockchain. Ten thousand pendants, sold out.
CryptoJeweler
Jewelry born on blockchain.
Designed in CAD.Written on chain.Minting a flywheel built for legacy.
The work
On-chain collections and a reward flywheel.
Ethereum, Polygon and ApeChain today. M3MORIES lands on Robinhood Chain.
The artist
Led by Michael Ray.
Eight years as a senior CAD designer at the largest fine jewelry manufacturer in the United States before founding the brand.
Made real
Every design is a production file.
Not a picture of a piece. The casting file itself, ready for the bench in silver, gold or platinum.
Pre-launch
Own the culture. Earn the gold. Forge it forever.
The first digital-physical jewelry drop on Robinhood Chain. 5,000 pendants that earn tokenized gold, silver, platinum and USDG every 24 hours. Mint a pendant, activate it with $KARAT, and start earning towards the real one.
How it works
Mint
Your pass mints one of 5,000 M3MORIES pendants. Each begins as production-ready CAD, can be manufactured into a real physical piece, and can be activated to earn rewards generated by the ecosystem.

How rewards are collected and distributed
Fee distribution, metal purchase, and the physical earning pool. Every figure here is from the whitepaper.
Fee distribution
Where a fee goes the moment it lands
- 70%Buys real metal for pendants
- 20%Operations
- 10%Bench Reserve
Collection royalties and $KARAT pool fees split the same way.
Metal distribution
Who earns the metal, every round
- 90%+Pendants that are on
- Up to 10%Souls, the physical earning pool
The souls’ tenth is a ceiling the pool grows into, so pendants keep at least nine-tenths of every round.
Pieces made real
What a finished piece buys back
- 5%Of the price, back into the metal pool
- 100%Of the $KARAT paid is destroyed
Routed by the escrow contract when the hallmark mints. Nothing sold outside the collection counts.
Holders go first. One Chains NFT is one claim. Four EGG$ are one claim. Both burn the old token. The public mint and the Vault open behind them. Full mechanics, the pricing math and the risks are in the whitepaper. Every split above is as intended at the time of writing, and the splits and the distribution may both be adjusted before launch.
The work
The collections, live on chain.
Chains NFT and EGG$ lead the brand, each with sub-collections inside it: two holder allocations under Chains, Cores and Parts under EGG$. Around them sit the origin airdrop, the one-of-ones and the editions. M3MORIES is the flagship still to come.
Built to manufacture
Not an image of a piece. The piece.
Every stone is placed in the file. Every prong, every wall thickness, every casting sprue is engineered before the design is ever minted. That is why a CryptoJeweler design can go straight to the bench.
Custom
Your idea, made physical.
Most builds start as one message. A stone someone already owns. A crest. A collection they belong to. A drawing kept in a notes app for years. Michael Ray concepts and models every custom piece himself, and nothing is cast until you have approved the CAD proof.
Brief
Tell us the idea.
A reference, a budget band, sizing if you have it. Michael reads every brief himself.
CAD proof
See it before it exists.
A 3D proof of your piece, rendered from the real production file, with revisions until it is right.
Cast and set
Made at the bench.
Lost-wax cast in your metal, then every stone set by hand and checked against the proof.
Delivered
Marked and shipped.
Hallmarked, photographed and shipped insured, with an on-chain record of the piece if you want one.
Made with the culture
Built with communities, not just beside them.
More than fifteen brand collaborations since 2021, from pendants engineered for partner collections to one-off pieces for collectors, creators and companies.

The artist
Michael Ray. Jeweler first.
Eight years as a senior CAD designer at the largest fine jewelry manufacturer in the United States. Then, in 2021, a brand built on one conviction: a digital design should be engineered like a real one, so that it can become a real one.
CryptoJeweler is vertically integrated. The generative design, the production files, the qualified casting and setting partners and the fulfillment are one pipeline. Designed in Lafayette, Louisiana. Fine pieces made to order in New York’s Diamond District.
