Its purpose is to encourage harmonisation, promote
international cooperation in the jewellery industry, and to

CIBJO was founded in Paris in 1926 as BIBOA, an
organization whose mission was to represent and
advance the interests of the jewellery trade in Europe.
It was restructured as CIBJO (Confdration
International de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfvrerie des
Diamants, Perles et Pierres) in 1961, with a global rather
than a continental focus.

The CIBJO Blue Books are definitive set of standards for grading, nomenclature
and grading-methodology. Blue Books have been compiled for diamonds,
coloured gemstones, pearls and precious metals, and for the operation of
gemmological laboratories. The Blue Books were produced and are consistently
updated by the respective CIBJO commissions and represent a consensus of
opinion within the jewellery industry.

In the absence of ISO-approved terminology, the CIBJO Blue Books are commonly
referred to in official forums. In 2006 the CIBJO Blue Book was relied upon by a
panel of three judges in a district court in Munich, Germany, which issued a
restraining order to the German distributor of gem-quality synthetic diamonds to
cease using the term cultured diamonds when marketing its products to thepublic. Legal commentators suggest that the verdict has legal authority
in other European Union countries.

Institute for Training and Research to help organise a two-day workshop in
Corporate Social Responsibility in the United Nations Pavilion at the Shanghai
World Expo. The workshop examined the incorporation of CSR in the work
environment, and the jewellery sector was selected to serve
as a primary case study of an industry that has done just that.

Trust and integrity are principles upon which the
jewellery and gemstone business have traditionally
rested. The stories about deal worth millions of dollars
being sealed without written contracts, but by a
handshake, are not legends but actual fact.
What happened over the past 10 years is that we have
become more appreciative of how our business impacts
upon others, both negatively and positively, and we have
used this knowledge to change the way in which we
operate.
