Recent coverage by the BBC, Guardian and others on audits of gold refiners under the DMCC Responsible Gold Guidance has raised questions about audit practices and guidelines. While RJC is not a party to this particular case, the RJC’s cross-recognition agreement of DMCC’s refiner audit program has been noted in some coverage. RJC clarifies the nature of the cross-recognition in this statement.

Responsible Sourcing of Colored Gemstones

A team of 3 postgraduate students from the Graduate Institute of Geneva have completed a study into responsible sourcing in the colored gemstones sector. The study was sponsored by Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA, and co-supervised by RJC. The report sets out to analyze the supply chain of colored gemstones and connected risks, and assess the opportunities and challenges for existing as well as potential initiatives.

RJC is making the report available on its website, with the kind agreement of the Graduate Institute, to support ongoing stakeholder interest in this area. While RJC does not currently include colored stones in its scope, it is currently bringing its experience with standards development and certification systems to initiatives such as the Precious Stones Multi-Stakeholder Working Group. For inquiries, please contact consultation@responsiblejewellery.com
