OCTOBER 27, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Diamond Commission saw a lengthy debate on Annex B of the Diamond Blue Book regarding diamond treatments, and made numerous changes including adding new definitions.<\/p>\n

These included descriptions and the display of imitations or simulants of diamonds, annealing, artificial products, artificial products which are not crystallised, artificially crystallised stones, fancy shapes and graining.<\/p>\n

The Commission added the new ISO standard 18323:2015 Jewellery \u2013 Consumer Confidence in the Diamond Industry, as a normative reference in the Blue Books.<\/p>\n

In addition, some of the Diamond Book language was adapted or changed according to the definitions in the new ISO standard.<\/p>\n
