Introducing CiviGem: Uniting the Global Diamond and Jewellery Industry
A New Digital Hub for Connection, Collaboration, and Growth
London, 10th February 2025 – The diamond and jewellery industry is built on trust, relationships, and expertise. Yet, despite being a global trade, it remains fragmented, with professionals often struggling to connect and collaborate effectively. Enter CiviGem—a pioneering digital platform designed to unite the industry like never before.
The Vision Behind CiviGem
CiviGem was born out of a simple yet pressing need: to create a centralised, digital community where professionals across the diamond and jewellery trade can network, share knowledge, and strengthen industry ties. Initially developed as a tool for the London Diamond Bourse (LDB), CiviGem quickly evolved into something much bigger—an international platform with the power to transform the way the industry operates.
“As someone who has spent years working across different facets of the trade—from mining to manufacturing to retail—I’ve seen firsthand how disconnected the industry can be. CiviGem is about breaking down those barriers, making us all stronger, louder, and more impactful as a united community,” says David Troostwyk, President of the London Diamond Bourse and founder of CiviGem.
What CiviGem Offers
CiviGem provides an intuitive, digital-first approach to industry networking and knowledge-sharing. Key features include: A Global Industry Directory – Easily find and connect with industry professionals based on location, expertise, company type and trade association.
Direct Messaging & Community Engagement – Foster stronger business relationships through real-time conversations and group discussions.
Knowledge Sharing & Industry Insights – Access an ever-growing library of factual information about natural diamonds, industry trends, and best practices.
Support for Young Professionals – Dedicated mentorship spaces to guide the next generation of diamantaires and jewellery professionals.
Empowering the Industry for the Future
The ultimate goal of CiviGem is simple: to empower industry professionals, enhance collaboration, and drive collective success. By fostering a spirit of partnership rather than competition, CiviGem aims to strengthen the diamond and jewellery trade at every level from miner, dealer, jeweller, designer and craftspeople.
“Success in this industry has always been about connections—who you know, what you learn, and how you adapt. CiviGem brings that to the digital age, ensuring that no matter where you are in the world, you’re never more than a click away from the right people and the right opportunities,” adds David Troostwyk.
With CiviGem, the diamond industry isn’t just keeping pace with change—it’s leading it.

Motorsport Meets High Jewellery: Hannah St John Turns Heads with ‘La Velocita’ Diamond Necklace at F1 Event
A 25-carat, 1,800-diamond Masterpiece Inspired by Formula 1 circuits Takes Centre Stage at the Glamour on the Grid ahead of the Australian Grand Prix
At the glamorous lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix, Hannah St John, partner of Liam Lawson, made a striking statement at the Glamour on the Grid event with a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace that seamlessly blended motorsport and haute jewellery.
Titled “La Velocit” (The Speed), the necklace was crafted by Australian atelier Martin Rogers Jewellery. The extraordinary piece features approximately 1,800 diamonds totalling 25 carats, intricately arranged to trace the outlines of iconic Formula 1 circuits from the global racing calendar.
A true testament to craftsmanship, the necklace required an estimated 250–300 hours of meticulous handwork, including weeks dedicated solely to precision diamond setting. Valued at around AUD $500,000 (approximately $350,000 USD), the piece stands as a bold fusion of speed, design, and luxury artistry.
Blurring the lines between engineering inspiration and fine jewellery, “La Velocità” captured attention across the paddock, proving that Formula 1’s influence extends far beyond the track.
