\u201cRussia is a country with a long and proud tradition in the jewellery arts, where the products produced have reflected not only the talent and ingenuity of its designers and craftspeople, but also the culture and history of this great nation, and the deposits of precious minerals with which your country is so richly blessed,\u201d Dr. Cavalieri said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike all great art disciplines, fine jewellery artists learn and draw from the experience of those that have come before them, not only in their own countries, but from others as well,\u201d Dr. Cavalieri continued. \u201cArguably the most famous Russian jeweller of them all, Carl Faberg\u00e9, was an individual deeply invested in both the Russian and French cultural experiences. In our industry that as not a considered a drawback, but rather a strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>

The team at Gokhran played a key role in the preparation a Memorandum of Understanding that CIBJO signed last year with the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation and the Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC), with the goal of harmonising the official system used in Russia for the classification of polished diamonds with the standards and nomenclature applied internationally, as it is presented in the CIBJO Diamond Blue Book. \u201cThe object of the agreement is to ensure that the system by which polished diamonds are classified and described in the Russian Federation are in accordance with the most widely accepted standards in the international trade,\u201d Dr. Cavalieri said.<\/p>\n<\/div>
