Awards to be presented at DDG’s 20th anniversary gala in Las Vegas, celebrating leadership in sustainability, community impact and ethical innovation across the diamond industry.
Diamonds Do Good (DDG) has announced the recipients of its 2026 awards, honoring three industry leaders for their contributions to responsible business practices and positive social impact within the global diamond sector. The awards will be presented at a special ceremony in Las Vegas next spring.
Marking its 20th anniversary, DDG is recognising individuals and companies whose leadership, ethics and innovation are helping shape a more transparent and purpose-driven diamond industry.
Anna Martin will be conferred with the GOOD Award for Lifetime Achievement, celebrating over four decades of influential leadership in the gem and jewellery world. Her contributions include serving as chair of Diamonds Do Good and holding senior leadership roles at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Tiffany & Co. has been selected for the Vanguard of Sustainable Luxury Award, in recognition of its long-standing commitment to responsible sourcing, diamond traceability, climate initiatives and broader sustainability efforts across its operations.
The Community Impact Award will be presented to Chicago-based jeweller CD Peacock, acknowledging the company’s charitable initiatives and its role in showcasing how natural diamonds can drive meaningful and lasting community development.
Commenting on the announcement, incoming DDG chair Pete Engel said, The organisation celebrates leaders who successfully balance strong commercial performance with purpose-led impact. He added that the 2026 honourees reflect the values increasingly important to today’s consumers, including responsibility, transparency and authentic community engagement.
The awards will be presented at Diamonds Do Good’s annual gala on May 28, held at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, on the eve of the opening of the JCK Las Vegas show.

Precious Metals Bounce Back As Iran Ceasefire Hopes Rise, But Fed Rate Fears Loom: AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
Gold Remains Under Short-term Pressure from Expectations of Fed Tightening and a Strong Dollar. However, Investor Positioning in Gold Looks Relatively Light After Months of ETF Outflows.
Price Movement – Gold has bounced back from its key support levels near $3960, and Silver has recovered from $55, after an Iranian official reportedly received a proposal for a 10-day ceasefire. The continuing US-Iran standoff has kept investors worried about energy-driven inflation and the possibility of further rate hikes. Markets are now pricing in an 83% chance of a US rate hike in December, up sharply from 73% just a week earlier, based on the CME FedWatch tool.
Geopolitical Tensions – Despite the Houthis announcing fresh military action, both Tehran and Washington appear keen to restart talks and stop the escalating attacks that have nearly destroyed a fragile interim agreement reached last month. A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday that mediators had proposed a 10-day ceasefire, aimed at rescuing the interim deal and eventually leading to a lasting peace agreement.
Macro-Economic Signals – Gold remains under short-term pressure from expectations of Fed tightening and a strong dollar. However, investor positioning in gold looks relatively light after months of ETF outflows, meaning further price drops may be limited. Strong physical demand, especially from China, along with continued central bank buying, is providing solid support to the gold market.
Technical Triggers
If Gold fails to hold above $4,000 (~Rs.1,41,000), it could slide further to $3,900 (~Rs.1,38,000). But if it manages to stay above $4,200, a fresh rally could take it toward $4,500 (~Rs.1,55,000).
For Silver, a strong move above $63 (~Rs.2,35,000) could push prices toward $70–71 (~Rs.2,51,000–2,55,000). On the other hand, a fall below $55 (~Rs.2,14,000) may drag it down to $50 (~Rs.2,00,000).
