As ethical consumerism and environmental responsibility reshape the jewellery industry, sustainable diamonds are becoming the new gold standard. According to McKinsey & Company, by 2025, sustainability-driven purchases will account for up to 30% of all fine jewelry sales—totaling $110 billion, triple that of 2019.

To meet this growing demand, SCS Global Services introduced the SCS-007 Jewellery Sustainability Standard, a rigorous certification for Sustainability Rated Diamonds. This standard is built on five core pillars:

• Origin Verification: Diamonds are traced to their source through advanced testing and auditing.

• Ethical Stewardship: Certified producers must uphold strict social and environmental protections.

• Sustainable Production: Net-zero impact is required across all production processes.

• Climate Neutrality: Producers commit to fully offsetting their carbon footprint.

• Sustainability Investments: Ongoing support for climate initiatives, artisanal miners, and local communities.

De Vere Brilliance proudly works with SCS-007 accredited suppliers, ensuring that every lab-grown diamond in our collection meets the highest standards of sustainability, traceability, and ethical sourcing.

SCS-007 certification gives consumers confidence and retailers a clear advantage, ensuring transparency, responsibility, and trust. Retailers accredited under the program can access certified inventory and sustainability documentation, meeting the expectations of today’s eco-conscious buyer.

Through industry-wide collaboration and continuous improvement, SCS Global Services and the SCS-007 standard are shaping a more responsible and sustainable future for diamond jewellery.
