Tiffany & Co. customers will be provided with information regarding the region or country of origin, the place where the diamond was cut, polished and certified and then mounted on the jewelry item for every recent, individually registered, diamond supply. This information can be given by any Tiffany & Co. expert and will also be included in the Tiffany Diamond Certificate. Tiffany continues to be a sector pioneer by unveiling yet another passage in the diamond supply chain. Among luxury jewelry companies worldwide, Tiffany & Co. is the only brand that owns and manages five diamond processing workshops around the world. With over 1,500 artisan workers in these workshops, Tiffany ensures that the excellence of every cut is obsessively respected in order to enhance the stone’s utmost shine, dispersion and sparkle – not just its weight in carats. Thanks to these company-owned workshops in Belgium, Mauritius, Botswana, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as Tiffany’s Gemological Laboratory in New York and five jewelry-making workshops in North America, Tiffany is able to guarantee that its own superlative standards are respected. By offering this level of supply chain transparency, something which no other luxury jewelry company in the world is able to match, makes Tiffany unique; an achievement made possible by investing in vertical integration for over 20 years. This vertical integration model not only contributes to keeping the artisan workmanship at the highest levels but also ensures premium health and safety conditions at the workplace, the economic development of the community and supply chain traceability. Together with the philanthropical activities that The Tiffany & Co. Foundation continues to conduct, donating $85M over the last 20 years, Tiffany & Co. has always been a pioneer of sustainable luxury. «Revealing the processing cycle of Tiffany diamonds reflects decades of investment in our supply chain» affirmed Andrew Hart, Senior Vice President Diamond and Jewelry Supply at Tiffany & Co. And he added: «Among luxury jewelry companies, Tiffany is the only to directly supply itself with responsibly-mined raw diamonds, which it then processes and mounts in total respect of its own standards in its own workshops.»
