Pre-CIBJO Congress 2025 Special Report presents guideline for jewellery business and product integrity
With fewer than five weeks to go to the opening of the 2025 CIBJO Congress in Paris, France, on October 27, 2025, the sixth of the pre-congress Special Reports has been released. Prepared by the CIBJO Ethics Commission, headed by Sara Yood, the report outlines four critical dimensions of business integrity as relevant to the jewellery and watch industries, namely anti-money laundering and financial transparency, marketing ethics and greenwashing risks, consumer disclosure and product integrity, and technology and transparency tools.
“Today, no issue is more urgent than ensuring integrity and transparency across the supply chain,” Sara Yood writes. “As consumer expectations evolve and regulatory frameworks tighten, the industry must reaffirm its commitment to honest practices that protect both businesses and consumers. Blockchain technology, for example, can provide tamper-proof records of provenance, while artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to greater consistency in grading and pricing,”New technologies may be a useful tool for strengthening the integrity of the jewellery industry, Yood points out. she notes.
But she warns, technology also may pose a risk. “Blockchain systems rely on the accuracy of the data input. False or incomplete information at the source compromises the entire chain. AI systems, while efficient, may embed biases or lack transparency in their decision-making processes,” Ms. Yood states.
Integrity and transparency are not abstract ideals – they are necessities for the jewellery industry to continue to succeed. Without them, consumer trust erodes, regulators impose harsher restrictions, and the industry’s symbolic value is diminished.

Hopes for New Government data lifts precious metals prices AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
- Gold and Silver continued to rise, reaching a close to three-week high, supported by indications that the U.S. government shutdown was coming to an end and rising anticipation of another December interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
- Late on Monday, the U.S. Senate ended the longest shutdown with a compromise that would return federal funds to the United States. It would include three full-year appropriations measures and would finance the government until January 30 if the Senate passes the bill. It would then need to be approved by the House of Representatives and sent to President Donald Trump, a process that might take several days.
- Amid concerns about the economic consequences of the longest-ever U.S. government shutdown, consumer sentiment in the United States declined to a 3-1/2-year low in early November.
Technical Triggers
- Gold prices have achieved the target of $4150 (~Rs 125,000). Prices are expected to consolidate here for a while, before moving higher.
- Silver prices have achieved the target of $50.80 (~Rs 155,000). Prices are expected to consolidate here for a while, before moving higher.
