Join Stuart Pool from Nineteen48 for a talk hosted by the North East Branch of Gem-A, when we will be exploring the changing world of responsible gemstone sourcing and why transparency and traceability matter more than ever.
Stuart will share how Nineteen48 works to trace gemstones through their journey from mine to market, connecting stones back to their source and the people and communities involved in bringing them out of the ground.
The talk will look at what true traceability means in practice, the challenges involved in creating a transparent supply chain, and how better knowledge of a gemstone’s provenance can give jewellers, dealers and their customers greater confidence in the stones they buy.
With consumers increasingly interested in where their jewellery comes from and the impact of the materials used to make it, Stuart will also explore how responsible sourcing is changing the gemstone industry - and what that could mean for its future.
