GCAL (the Gem Certification and Assurance Lab) is issuing a diamond certificate that ensures diamonds have been responsibly mined and ethically traded – as well as thoroughly tested for natural origin and freedom from treatment.

Designed for De Beers’ Sightholders, "Source Veritas serves two equally vital purposes," says GCAL’s President Donald Palmieri. "It is both a clean bill of health for a diamond as well as a safe-conduct pass from mine to market."

Shmuel Pluczenik, CEO of Pluczenik, stated, "… It it is imperative that our diamonds are free from any social tarnish. The Source Veritas Passports ensures this and builds consumer confidence in our diamonds."
