CIBJO’s Blue List set for early 2026 release
The World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) is preparing to launch its Blue List, a definitive glossary designed for the responsible jewellery supply chain, in Q1 2026. Announced at last week’s CIBJO Congress in Paris, the project—initiated in 2019—has encountered modest delays following a four-month public consultation and COVID-related interruptions.
The Blue List seeks to unify industry language, providing transparent, evidence-based terminology to boost consumer confidence. Originally scheduled for release at the October Congress, the first edition will serve as an evolving reference, regularly updated to reflect regulatory shifts. Dr Gaetano Cavalieri, CIBJO president, highlighted the exhaustive work undertaken by members to ensure accuracy and clarity, emphasizing its role in fostering industry-wide trust and credibility.

“With demand for transparency rising, confusion over definitions persists—even among professionals,” Dr Gaetano Cavalieri said. “The Blue List establishes common ground through universally agreed terminology and substantiation guidance—reinforcing trust inside the sector and with the wider public.”
Last week’s panel discussion featured industry leaders reviewing the Blue List’s forthcoming impact.
