PARTNERS
Being pioneers in the diamond industry since 1987, we believe that the ultimate way to create change in the diamond industry is through sustainability. We strive to create a brighter and more sustainable world
Facet partnered with technology solutions provider Everledger to create DiamondByway, the ultimate diamond’s traceability platform, a precursor and innovative technology that offers all the information about your diamond; origin, authenticity and traceability in each agent and process involved, promoting maximum transparency to raise our industry to the highest sustainable standards.
“For years we have been working trying to improve the luxury industry, today we have an opportunity to do it together”
Facet ensures that all their diamonds are natural certified gemstones, subjected to the Kimberley Process - The Kimberley Process (KP) unites administrations, civil societies, and industry in reducing the flow of conflict diamonds - ‘rough diamonds used to finance wars against governments’ - around the world.
Since 2016 Facet is a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an international non-profit organization that promotes ethical, social and environmental practices in the diamond, gold and platinum metal industry through the entire supply chain.
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Founded in 2015, Everledger is an independent technology company helping businesses surface and converge asset information, using a symphony of secure technologies, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, intelligent labelling and Internet of Things. Our purpose is to contribute greater clarity and confidence in marketplaces where transparency matters most.
We digitally streamline our clients’ compliance processes, to help them demonstrate the lifetime story of an asset with greater efficiency and accuracy. As technology partners, we also support in powering resilience and sustainability. With information out in the open, we believe the value of many industries – from diamonds, to fine wines, to e-waste lifecycle management – will be shared by all stakeholders throughout the value chain.
DiamondByway’s jewels contain the traceability certificate, the GIAcertificate and are made with CoCgold – The CoC Standard aims to support claims for responsible sourced jewellery materials (known as CoC material), produced, processed and traded through the supply chain. This means that appropriate standards apply for human rights, labour standards, environmental impact, and business ethics: as articulated in the RJC Code of Practices, applicable to the jewellery supply chain.
