Ethical Gold & Diamonds: Kimberley Process Certification, Fairmined Gold & RJC Chain-of-Custody
Authored by Italian Goldsmithing & Metallurgical Review Board
Ensuring ethical provenance: Kimberley Process (KPCS) diamond passports, Fairmined artisanal mining certifications, and Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) audits.
Luxury connoisseurs demand verifiable ethical provenance, ensuring precious metals and gemstones are sourced through audited supply chains free of conflict.
1. Key Ethical Jewelry Frameworks
- Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS): UN-backed multilateral process that tracks rough diamond shipments from mine to cutting center with tamper-resistant certificates.
- Fairmined & Fairtrade Gold: Guarantees that artisanal small-scale mining cooperatives receive fair market premiums and adhere to strict environmental standards (mercury-free refining).
- Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC): Enforces rigorous Code of Practices (COP) audits covering labor rights, environmental stewardship, and supply chain traceability.
