At JQV Gemstones, we are committed to responsible and ethical sourcing, ensuring our gemstones come from suppliers who prioritise fair labour practices and sustainability.

While full traceability remains a challenge in the global gemstone trade, we work closely with trusted dealers who personally visit mines and verify sourcing conditions.

Through established relationships with reputable suppliers, we ensure that our gemstones come from sources that adhere to fair labour standards and responsible environmental practices, including the Kimberley Process. JQV is committed to enhancing transparency and ethics in our coloured gemstone supply chain. We actively monitor industry advancements and are forging direct relationships with small artisanal mines. By sourcing directly, we ensure a traceable and responsible supply chain, providing fairer prices for mining families while offering our customers high-quality gemstones at competitive rates.

We offer gemstones mined under fair trade principles, which promote improved labour conditions, fair wages, and community benefits. Additionally, we provide alternatives such as lab-grown gemstones and synthetic gemstones, though we remain mindful of the environmental impact of lab & synthetic production. While lab & synthetic gemstones eliminate the need for mining, their production is energy-intensive and often takes place in countries reliant on fossil fuels, with limited regulation over working conditions. In contrast, responsibly mined natural gemstones support millions of workers worldwide, providing crucial livelihoods in regions with few other employment opportunities.
