The Traceability of Diamonds Moves a Step Further
Published: 25th May 2022
Across the global jewellery industry, the origins of diamonds and their traceability has always been at the forefront of discussions. Much is being done to provide consumers with complete confidence, especially since the break out of the war between Russia and the Ukraine where 30% of the world’s diamonds originate.
It was therefore encouraging to read a recent article in Professional Jeweller, stating that “Cartier, Bulgari and more add latest development in diamond traceability”. This technological solution will provide complete transparency on product sourcing history and verifiable authenticity documentation - a huge step forward for the diamond and jewellery industry. Although they are large luxury brands, with them leading the way, hopefully others will follow.
