Certifications & traceability

The Kimberley Process reduces trade in conflict diamonds; we supplement this with supplier audits and chain-of-custody documentation for added assurance.

RJC certification ensures ethical, social and environmental practices across the supply chain — from mine to retail.

Digital ledgers and laser inscriptions link a stone to its certificate — ideal for long-term provenance and resale value.
