Providing guidance on ESG Compliance
Prepared by the CIBJO Sustainable Development Commission, headed by John Mulligan, this report examines ways in which jewellery companies can meet the growing demand to become compliant with responsible environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.
Mulligan writes if the jewellery industry as a whole is to build and sustain consumer trust, it needs to avoid fragmented and potentially contradictory responses. “How then do we strive to encourage and support the global jewellery sector so that it might move in a relatively consistent or broadly convergent manner towards a set of common sustainability objectives?” he asks.
The CIBJO Sustainable Development Commission has been developing solutions, Mulligan reveals in the report, seeking to define a sectoral “ESG and sustainability” roadmap for jewellery market participants. “It is intended to provide clarity and direction for industry associations and companies across their supply chains. The objective of the resulting guidance document, and the resources it references, is to condense the vast array of ESG topics and sustainability objectives into a structured and prioritised framework, tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of the jewellery sector,” he states.

Get WILD, WITCHY…WICKED This Halloween
Whether You Go All Out With A Costume Or Simply Wear Black, The Right Jewellery Pulls The Look Together
This Halloween, build your look around one piece of dark or dramatic jewellery, such as black crystals, an oversized ring, or oxidised silver with a bit of attitude. Whether you go all out with a costume or simply wear black, the right jewellery pulls the look together.
Halloween jewelry styling guide:
1. The Minimalist Dark Look

Vibe: Chic, effortless, and photographs exceptionally well.
Outfit: All-black attire (dress, co-ord, or kurta) with dark lipstick.
Jewelry Strategy: Focus on one light-catching dark piece (e.g., Onyx Glow Drop Earrings, Clara Noir Orb Ring, or Bianca Noir Crystal Drop Set). Stick to gold-toned accents or avoid extra jewelry to keep it intentional rather than over-the-top.
- Celestial Witch

Vibe: Mystical and witchy without wearing a traditional hat; focuses on stars, moons, and tarot themes.
Outfit: Flowy pieces in deep plum, midnight blue, or black paired with smudged eyelid shimmer.
Jewelry Strategy: Stack star-sign constellation studs (Astra Zodiac Studs), layer multiple chains with a zodiac pendant, or make a single bold statement with crescent-moon earrings (Neelambari Chand Earrings).
- Desi Horror Heroine

Vibe: Inspired by classic Bollywood horror heroines.
Outfit & Styling: Red or orange saree, smudged kohl, large red bindi, and messy hair.
Jewelry Strategy: Use antique-look oxidised silver pieces, such as peacock earrings, a ghungroo-beaded choker (Anira Flora Choker) for sound effects, and a dramatic statement ring (Riwaayat Ring).
Bonus: These items double as re-usable Diwali wardrobe pieces.
- Popular Jewelry Options & Styles

Spooky & Gothic: Spider web dangles, skull studs, skeleton hands, bone chokers, obsidian thorn necklaces, and crystal skull rings.
Artisan & Local: Handmade laser-cut wooden designs on Etsy or specialized lines
