The Diamond Development Initiative (DDI) announced that members of the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) have joined the DDI friends program, according to a press release received by Rough & Polished.
"The purchase of diamonds in compliance with high ethical standards is of great importance to leading jewelry designers in the United States and around the world," explains Dorothée Gizenga, CEO of DDI. - As diamonds mined by diamond miners take an increasing share of the total volume of world diamond production, the field of DDI activities aimed at developing and implementing social and economic opportunities in local communities is expanding. We are very happy to enlist the support of designers who have set an excellent example for other industry participants, and we hope to further expand the number of participants in the program. "
