CHAUMET DIAMOND SELECTION
Chaumet takes the sourcing of its raw materials very seriously, especially with regard to its diamonds.
THE KIMBERLEY PROCESS

The Kimberley Process, which has been in practice since 2003 and adopted by over 75 countries, is an international certification scheme that aims to prevent the flow of conflict diamonds.
Conflict diamonds, also known as ‘blood’ diamonds, are rough diamonds used by rebel movements or their allies to finance armed conflicts aimed at undermining legitimate governments.

As a member of the RJC since 2005, Chaumet operates transparently to promote ethical practices that are socially and environmentally responsible, respecting human rights from one end of the jewellery chain to the other, from extraction to sale.
Following an external audit conducted in 2020, all Chaumet facilities worldwide—including the headquarters, workshops and boutiques—have been recertified as members of the RJC until 2023.
