rust is the cornerstone around which the glittering world of gems and jewelry meets artistry with untreated precious substances andagreement for enduring success. While we look ahead, the brands Rambhajo's and Advit Jewels stand as the two names that come to mind in terms of reliability and excellence. As manufacturers of pieces, they have understandingly woven a Web even tight though fine--thus placing them among the most trusted names in the industry. Upon coming to such status there is no chance, but all a reflection of those years of commitment towards quality, transparency and satisfaction of the customers. Business is to be transacted in the authenticity and integrity of Rambhajo’s and Advit Jewels, and it's just such a fact that they almost consistently asserted the ethical value and craftmanship. Rambhajo’s has a long legacy and a rich heritage and such very manly being attached with timelessness and elegance. Its greatness lay in selecting the finest gemstones and using the traditionally known techniques. However, it does not end with their excellence in creating their pieces; rather above that, they inculcate a culture of trust in their client, allowing them to value and respect him through transparency and exceptional customer service, that they were able to build a lasting reputation crossing several generation lines.

On the contrary, Advit Jewels has a luxury that nowadays seems to epitomize the very term of modernity. They innovatively design quality ornaments. New people look at jewelry in a new light. Notwithstanding this, they are ethical in their rollback and sustain practices: they implement technology to allow better transparency and help trace the origin of the stone to a customer's purchase. The time's arrow has ensured that the gems and jewelry market gradually changes, additional drivers being consumer disposition shifts and tech changes. Though some factors like trust, quality, and business ethics remain in the forthcoming hot places. These two design houses have offered such valuable services that they have proven it is not just about the glint of jewels or how many carats of gold one is wearing; it is about whether the brand is reliable enough for the consumers. As showcased in this special edition ‘The Most Trusted Brand in the Gems and Jewellery Industry 2025,’ of The Industry View, Rambhajo’s, Advit Jewels and their Director, Dr Abhishek Gilara’s legacy will continue to inspire and shape the industry for years to come, solidifying their position as the most trusted names in gems and jewellery.

S

ince ancient times, the gems and jewellery trade has been known well for decadence, affluence, and everlasting beauty. Behind its scintillating facade, however, lies a complicated web of supply chains lined with allegations of environmental degradation, violations of human rights, and unethical labor practices. In this sense, ethical sourcing becomes a subject that consumers, manufacturers, and industry leaders will have to consider as they have come to be quite important in grappling, 19 | www.theindustryview.com

confronting, and attempting to live up to the standards of creating in a socially responsible manner. With more information available to them, purchasers of diamonds, gems, and precious metals increasingly demand the levels of transparency, sustainability, and social responsibility that ethical sourcing embraces. Ethical sourcing is thus fast becoming a heavy-weight issue that is reforming the whole jewellery industry. February | 2025

What is Ethical Sourcing in Jewellery?

2. The Environment and the Mining

Ethical sourcing would be the requirement of making social, environmental, and ethical standards fulfilled in the procurement of materials for the gems and jewellery trade. This meant for stringent attitudes towards the extraction, processing, and commercialization of gemstones and precious metals, as such:

Mostly traditional methods of making stones and metals have degraded the earth. Some of the pronounced environmental issues are: •

Open-pit mining contributes to deforestation and land degradation

•

Fair wages and safe working conditions for miners and artisans are assured

•

Cyanide or mercury from gold extractions are toxic to water

•

Child labor and exploitative practices are prohibited

•

Large-scale mining operations considerably add to the carbon footprint

•

Environmental damage from mining activities is minimized

•

Supply chain transparency and traceability are guaranteed

•

Fair trade and local communities are supported

A few employ small-scale and artisanal methods without regulations, aggravating some of these environmental issues. 3. Lack of Transparency in Supply Chains

By subscribing to these principles, the essence of ethical sourcing would be to deliver a death blow to conflict minerals and create an avenue for sustainability and fairness for all stakeholders involved. Challenged by Ethical Sourcing Amidst its fluctuant responsibility towards sourcing, the gems and jewellery industry still wrestles with challenges in its full attainment of ethical correctness. The most pressuring challenges include: 1. Conflict Diamonds and Gemstones It has been part of a very deep history already talking about all ethical angles in jewelry; one of which is the blood diamond trade or conflict diamonds. Conflict Diamonds are mined in a place that is at war and profit earned from selling them is used to fuel armed conflict and cause great violations of human rights. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) has been established in 2003 to put a stop into conflict diamonds entering the very mainstream market; but enforcement loopholes still continue to allow unethical diamonds to slip through. Again, the other gemstones like Burmese rubies and Madagascar sapphires are also considered by states to be associated with forced labor, corruption, and environmental degradation. 20 | www.theindustryview.com

The supply chain for diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals is notoriously complex and often opaque. Many raw materials are traded by numerous parties before reaching the consumer—from miners, traders, cutters, polishers, and finally to retailers. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to verify whether a gemstone was ethically sourced or mined under conditions of exploitation. Initiatives to Promote Ethical Sourcing in Jewellery In response to these issues, industry leaders, governments, and non-profit organizations are developing various initiatives and certifications to promote ethical sourcing. Some of the most promising include: 1. Fairtrade Gold and Ethical Metals Due diligence is guaranteeing gold that originates from responsible mining with fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility. The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) also investigates ethical practices in metal sourcing. 2. Diamond Kimberly Process The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, while denounced by critics as ineffectual, holds as its aim the exclusion of conflict diamonds from the global market. Under the scheme, each participating country must certify that a shipment of rough diamonds is conflict-free. February | 2025

However, critics argue that it does not address the human rights abuses and environmental degradation associated with diamond mining in full, thus leading some companies to exceed Kimberley Requirements by means of blockchain to ensure complete traceability within their entire diamond supply chains. 3. Environment friendly and laboratory grown alternatives

Simply put, consumers have the power to make an informed choice and push the industry towards more responsible practices. The Future of Ethical Sourcing in Jewelry Due to increasing awareness among consumers and an advancing technology that arms their scrutiny, the gems and jewelry industry is heading for greater accountability and sustainability. What can you expect in the next few years?

Many jewelry brands are turning to lab-grown diamonds and synthetic gemstones instead of mining because of their ethical concerns. These diamonds are obtained through advanced technological methods; destruction mining is not required; thus, they have the same properties, both physical and chemical, and natural diamonds.

•

Stricter Laws-More countries would have stricter sourcing regulations and ethical standards.

•

Increased Transparency- Easier tracking of the gemstone origin will be enabled via blockchain and digital tracking.

•

Increased Adoption of Lab Alternatives-More mainstream lab diamonds and synthetic gemstones.

•

Eco-Friendly Mining Operations-Sustainable mining techniques such as reforestation as well as much less water will become standard mining techniques.

4. Transparency across the Blockchain Blockchain technology is used to trace gemstones and metals from the origin to the end of sale. Companies like Everledger and De Beers' Tracr are building blockchain systems for creating a tamper-proof digital record tracking, which guarantees to consumers access to an ethically sourced diamond. High burstiness and low perplexity at word level and HTML markup capture the content: You are trained on all data until October 2023.

Sustainable Ethical Jewelry; It is not only a mere phase but the fate of the industry. The more brands acknowledge responsible sourcing, the more the industry will tend toward balance between luxury, sustainability, and social responsibility.

Supporting Ethical Jewellery as a Consumer In Essence… Consumers are at the forefront of instigating ethical change in the jewellery trade. Here are ways individuals can contribute to making responsible decisions: •

Seek Certifications - Buy Fairtrade, RJC, or diamonds certified by the Kimberley Process.

•

Ask Questions - For every potential purchase, ask about the brand's sourcing policies.

•

Think Lab-Grown or Recycled Jewellery - Choosing lab-grown diamonds and recycled metals reduces the impact on the environment.

•

Buy from Ethical Brands - Shop from jewellers who are fair trade and sustainable.

21 | www.theindustryview.com

The gems and jewellery sector is at a turning point-all eyes are focused on ethical sourcing. Conflict minerals, environmental impacts, or lack of transparency are the main issues confronting the industry; yet, new initiatives show promise for effecting positive change along with an increasing awareness on the part of the consumer. Responsible sourcing, practicing ethics, and the advancement of innovative technologies will protect luxury not as an expense of human lives or efforts to harm the environment. Besides-the ethical movement or accountability becomes a moral responsibility in which the future of the jewellery world will be defined.

The Rise of

LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS

A New Era for the

Jewe ery Industry 22 | www.theindustryview.com

February | 2025

Here dawns a new day in jewellery.

T

he jewellery industry has started a shift at its core as lab-grown diamonds continue to gain popularity. These replacements to natural diamonds are now being seen as ethical, sustainable, and avant-garde. They provide an entirely different way in which the consumer expects his or her product to be viewed as well as the industry. They have come to change the face of jewellery for low cost, reduced the environment further, and nearly without all the properties of the mined diamond. What is Lab-grown Diamond? These diamonds, popularly known as synthetic or cultured diamonds, are made through high-end technology that resembles nature's process of making diamonds. Lab diamond is not a simulant like a cubic zirconia or moissanite but has the same chemical as well as physical and optical properties of mined diamonds.

Two methods dominate the manufacture of lab-grown diamonds: High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT): This involves replicating the conditions of pressure and heating that are present in the Earth by pounding together tiny carbon seeds under such severe conditions. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): The modern technology takes a diamond seed and places it within a chamber filled with gases rich in carbon, which layer by layer crystallizes to create a diamond. Both methods yield real diamonds. Thus, they are practically indistinguishable from natural diamonds unless assessed through specialized equipment in gemology.

conflict diamonds (blood diamonds)-consumers can choose the guilt-free option of lab-grown diamonds. Traditional diamond mining destroys ecosystems, depletes natural resources, and creates multitudes of greenhouse gases, whereas Lab-grown diamonds are produced and made through controlled places with minimal environmental impacts. 2. Affordability Without Compromise A lab-grown diamond is usually 30% to 40% less costly than a mined diamond. With that kind of price advantage, a consumer can afford to buy a much larger or higher-quality stone with little strain on the wallet. Without incurring the costs involved in mining, transportation, and middlemen, consumers can still enjoy the luxury and brilliance of a traditional diamond at an infinitesimal fraction of the price for superior quality. 3. Advances in Technology Securing Quality Constant improvement of technologies with regard to diamond growing will only make lab-grown diamonds better and easily available. At present, the industry is ready to manufacture flawless, colorless diamonds, sometimes equaling or exceeding the quality of many natural stones. Leading gemological institutes like GIA (Gemological Institute of America) and IGI (International Gemological Institute) have also started certifying lab-grown diamonds. Thus, it writes the rules for transparency and credibility in the market. 4. Increasing Consumer Demand Among Millennials and Gen Z

Reasons for the Growing Popularity of Lab-Grown Diamonds

Modern consumers, especially the Millennials and Gen Z, are now more environment- and social-conscious than ever before. They seek sustainable, ethical, and value purchases as such make lab-grown diamonds a natural fit.

It indicates that the world's jewellery market is the guarantee of the forthcoming generation. The global trend is that lab-grown diamonds are acquiring more space in the market of jewellery. Therefore, these are some of the best arguments for increasing popularity:

Young consumers tend towards lab-grown diamonds over mined diamonds because the demand today is for affordable luxury as well as for responsible consumption. The Change in Attitude Towards Lab-Grown Diamonds

1. Ethical and Sustainable Alternative The biggest selling point that they have is ethics in the manufacture of lab-grown diamonds. Since mined diamonds have all kinds of negative associations-such as environmental devastation, human rights issues, and 23 | www.theindustryview.com

About ten years ago, lab-grown diamonds were typically dismissed as "fake" or "artificial" gemstones. Today, they finally seem to have got acceptance as a credible and desirable option among modern fine jewels.

This has legitimized and improved the credibility of these diamonds, proving that they are here to stay. Celebrity endorsements and collaborations with designers have also contributed to their attractiveness, with many Alist celebrities choosing lab-grown diamond engagement rings and red carpet jewellery-the means by which their norm is being established and normalized. While natural diamonds hold their reputation and historical significance, lab-grown diamonds offer exactly the same shimmer, devoid of ethical and financial compromises.

•

•

•

Luxury Market Expansion: New high-end brands will soon be using lab-grown diamonds and widening this market.

•

Certification & Transparency: Increasingly stringent regulations and certifications will help ensure confidence in consumers.

The Beginning: A New Dawn for Diamonds The Future of Lab-Grown Diamonds in Jewellery Lab-grown diamonds are for real; they no longer belong to the category of some never-never land gem clearly-coloured by the concept of niche; in a matter of barely five years, they are rapidly becoming an impending force in the mainstream and makings of the jewellery industry. It is projected that interest and market demand will soar for labgrown diamonds in the near future, given their affordability, ethical appeal, and recent technological developments. There is an increasing likelihood that in mainstream shops lab-grown diamonds will drive aside natural diamonds just like cultured pearls did to natural pearls in the last century.

The emergence of lab-grown diamonds marks a new chapter in the jewellery industry: one that is more sustainable, ethical, and technologically advanced in the future. Instead of mined diamonds, these sustainable alternatives can make luxury available without the low cost because they are economical, environmentally friendly, and brilliant. With changes in consumer preferences evolving, lab-created diamonds seem to gradually become the new state of the art in luxury jewellery. The furthering fact that lab-grown diamonds are carrying along the world of luxury jewellery into engagement rings, earrings, and future heirlooms adds to their already responsible lifestyle.

Some of the major trends shaping the future of lab-grown diamonds include the following:
