A look at traceability
in different jewellery industry sectors
September 8, 2024

There is a growing demand, both from some of the leading brands and also from international bodies like the European Union, to be able to trace the provenance of all jewellery components as they move through the supply chain. But the ability to do is not equally achievable in all industry sectors. The seminar considered the subject from the point of view of the diamonds, coloured gemstones and precious metals sectors.

It was moderated by Edward Johnson, Corporate Responsibility Director of the Gemfields Group, the world’s largest coloured gemstone miner. Panellists included Martin Leake, Special Advisor – Precious Stones at the DMCC in Dubai; John Mulligan, Director of Market Relations & Climate Change Lead at the World Gold Council and President of CIBJO Sustainable Development Commission; Tai Wong, Director, Global Innovation and Product Development at Platinum Guild International; Raluca Anghel, Head of External Affairs and Industry Relations at the Natural Diamond Council (NDC); and Francesca Manfredi, Head of Innovation Watches & Jewellery at the Kering group of luxury brands.

The event was hosted on September 8, 2024, by the VICENZAORO show organizer, the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), and is part of a joint CSR and sustainability educational programme for the jewellery industry, presented by by CIBJO and IEG, which has been recognized by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.
