"We’ve always envisioned The Diamond Dialogue as an open and honest conversation that leads to real action. Dubai has been the first market to embrace this initiative and to collaborate with us in moving the conversation forward. It’s inspiring to see industry leaders, retailers, and government stakeholders come together with a shared purpose, to strengthen trust, educate consumers, and shape a stronger, more transparent future for natural diamonds."

"I’m honoured to be a part of the IAGES effort. We’ve been in the jewellery business for a long time, almost 115 years, but what our industry still definitely lacks today is formalisation. The IAGES accreditation is a very positive step towards process management. Consumers need to be assured that the highest due diligence has been implemented by retailers across the entire supply chain and that is what the IAGES framework promises. I hope more gold businesses join this cause, elevating the ethics and standards of India’s gold sector."
