Welcome to the Premier Fine Art Ecosystem
MS Token is a revolutionary platform that acquires fine art and monetizes the art through NFT sales. The token is built on a foundation of ownership of physical fine art masterpieces, starting with our wholly-owned Millennium Sapphire. The Millennium Sapphire is the largest carved sapphire in the world and was securitized on the ERC-20 blockchain through the MS Token Security Token Offering (STO). Token holders enjoy pro rata ownership of the securitized artwork and the Millennium Sapphire NFT studio.
MS Token has revolutionized the fine art market by creating liquidity in the top end of the market which was previously only accessible to collectors including royalty and multi-billionaires. This democratization of fine art ownership, securitized using blockchain technology, represents a bold new frontier and fusion of the worlds of fine art, finance and technology.
The MS Token ecosystem includes the Millennium Sapphire Studios which produces proprietary NFT lines drawing inspiration from the physical art we own. The Studio also provides NFT production and marketing services to institutional clients. The proprietary NFTs serve to monetize the physical works of art in the securitization portfolio and provide additional points of entry into the MS Token ecosystem.

The Artist: Alessio Boschi
The Millennium Sapphire® was carved into a tribute to the creative genius of humanity. The images etched on the face of the world’s largest blue sapphire trace milestones in human achievement from the beginning of recorded time to heroes of the present day.
Carved over a two-year period under the direction of award-winning designer Alessio Boschi, the creative director behind this masterpiece, the sapphire was transfigured from a rough gemstone into a monument of human triumphs.
A graduate of the Academy of Costume and Fashion in Rome, Alessio debuted in the industry in 1996. After several freelance assignments in Italy and France, he moved to Athens, and began designing jewelry with an emphasis on colored gemstones. In 1999 he collaborated with Daniel Mckinney on a project in Hong Kong to create the design for the Millennium Sapphire®: the largest gem quality carved sapphire in the world, with a remarkable weight of 61,500 carats.
