SB_editor_Logos_low_JB_5_th[1]Here’s a quick update on what’s happening in the world of jewellery.

1.      What the world’s biggest diamond mining companies are doing to jumpstart the industry[2], now that they’ve formed the Diamond Producers Association?

2.      What do you get when you cross Canadian diamonds, Canadian gold, a Canadian designer, and a Canadian manufacturer? See what Corona Jewellery Co. and Shelly Purdy are up to in the ‘Season’s[3] collection.  

3.      Lab-grown diamonds are getting bigger and bigger. Check out this 10-carat sparkler[4].

4.      A new chapter in the EGL grading story. EGL USA’s owner is now issuing GHI grading reports[5].

5.      How tiny fragments of diamonds[6] found in a meteorite may have come from a planet that exploded billions of years ago.
