CIBJO acts to uphold consumer confidence by supporting initiatives and programmes that address threats such as conflict diamonds and coloured gemstones; money laundering; questionable gemmological and assaying standards, and fraudulent hallmarks; health issues, particular as they may arise in the mine or factory; damage to the environment; and employment practices, particularly where the hiring of children is involved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The harmonisation of industry standards has been a critical element of CIBJO\u2019s mission, and has stood at the heart of its effort to protect the confidence of consumers in the jewellery product itself. To advance the goal of universal standards and terminology in the jewellery industry, CIBJO developed its Blue Book system, which involves definitive set of standards for the grading, methodology and nomenclature of diamonds, coloured gemstones, pearls and other organic materials, precious metals and gemmological laboratories.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div
