RJC introduces regulations for LGD segment
The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) has issued a comprehensive set of regulations on the ethical, social, human rights and environmental aspects of lab grown diamonds for its 2,000-plus members.v The 33-page document establishes responsible business practices throughout the jewelry and watch supply chain
Its Laboratory Grown Materials (LGMS) 2025 standard is a set of 28 provisions – from legal compliance, working hours and forced labor to health and safety, hazardous substances and grading analysis.
RJC members, among them De Beers, Lucara, Signet Jewellers, Leo Schachter, Cartier and Harry Winston, must have their facilities certified as compliant by the RJC within a year if they handle lab growns. Non-members are encouraged to use the LGMS to improve their business practices.
LGMS certification provides a strong system for assuring stakeholders, shareholders, customers and business partners that a company conducts its business responsibly says the London-based RJC
