RAPAPORT... The World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) has released a new
guide for the jewelry industry detailing standards and practices for supply-chain
due diligence. 
The 14-page “Responsible Sourcing Blue Book” provides a set
of universal guidelines industry members can follow to help them support
responsible sourcing and maintain integrity in their supply chain, CIBJO said
Monday.
“The philosophy that guided us in the creation of “Responsible Sourcing Book” is that all participants in the jewelry business have a duty of
care, and thus should conduct supply-chain due diligence to the best of their
ability,” said CIBJO president Gaetano Cavalieri.
The “Responsible Sourcing Book” is the latest in a line of
instructional manuals the organization has issued. CIBJO also offers Blue Books
that provide standards and guidelines concerning descriptive words for
diamonds, colored gemstones, pearls, precious coral, precious metals and
gemological labs.
CIBJO’s Responsible Sourcing Commission created the guidelines,
with jewelry experts and the general public subsequently reviewing them.
