Frequently Asked Question
A certified sustainable-rated diamond is a diamond that has been independently evaluated and authenticated by a reputable third-party organization to meet strict environmental, social, and ethical criteria across its entire lifecycle—from mining and processing to distribution and retail. These certifications verify that the diamond adheres to sustainability principles, including:
1. Environmental Stewardship: Reducing ecological harm, minimizing carbon emissions, and restoring mined land.
2. Ethical Practices: Ensuring fair labor conditions, prohibiting child or forced labor, and guaranteeing safe workplaces.
3. Supply Chain Transparency: Offering traceable documentation to confirm the diamond’s origin and ethical handling at every stage.
4. Community Support: Positively impacting mining communities through investments in education, healthcare, or infrastructure.
Common certifications and frameworks include:
- Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC): Ensures ethical standards throughout the jewelry supply chain.
- Kimberley Process (KP): Blocks trade in "conflict diamonds," though criticized for gaps in oversight.
- SCS Global Services’ Sustainable Diamonds Standard: Certifies environmental and social performance.
- Fairtrade Gold and Diamonds: Guarantees fair wages and safe mining practices.
- Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM): Supports ethical small-scale mining operations.
Choosing such diamonds empowers consumers to promote sustainability and ethical accountability in the jewelry sector.
Companies that produce or process diamonds undergo certification based on their compliance with the requirements set by the Standards for manufacturers and processors. Companies providing testing and grading services must obtain technical accreditation to ensure their capability to deliver these critical services. Each diamond is certified and tracked through a chain of custody to document its journey from source to market. Wholesalers and retailers are authorized to sell sustainability-rated certified diamonds accompanied by their respective diamond certificates.
