Due Diligence

Due diligence in the jewellery trade refers to the systematic processes used to verify supplier integrity, material provenance, compliance with regulations (such as the UK’s Modern Slavery Act and EU Conflict Minerals legislation), and ethical sourcing standards. This essential practice helps manage reputational, legal, and financial risk across the supply chain—from mined gems to finished retail pieces.
