Recently, RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) launched the Laboratory Grown Materials Standard (LGMS), which clarifies industry ethical standards for lab-grown diamonds and gemstones, marking the entry of the lab-grown diamond industry into the 'era of rules'.
LGMS provides guidelines for RJC members to handle synthetic materials, covering regulatory compliance, management systems, due diligence, human rights, labor rights and working conditions. RJC Chairman Dave Meleski emphasized the promotion of responsible business practices throughout the entire chain. In the past decade, lab-grown diamond technology has developed rapidly, but there are problems such as low transparency and labor rights disputes, such as concealment of technical details, child labor and overtime work. After the implementation of LGMS, RJC members need to record and implement the technical requirements of each production step to ensure responsible and transparent operations and clear communication of practices and products. This move is crucial to building market trust and providing consumer decision-making information.
RJC promotes the establishment of a traceable supply chain for lab-grown diamond companies through legal compliance and labor rights review, which is of great significance to the global market order. In the first year of the new rules, RJC members can voluntarily comply with them; after that, it will become a mandatory requirement. RJC provides training and simplifies the audit process. Interim Executive Director John Hall said that the goal is to create a credible environment and ensure best practices throughout the process. RJC's laboratory-grown material standards are crucial to the development of the industry, and unified standards will help regulate the industry.
