CIBJO launches new website

With a new website, CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation, has attempted a technological upgrade from its previous version, providing users with more information about the organization and the jewellery sector, as well as improved functionality. The website can be located at www.cibjo.org.

“The newly launched website is designed so that it can be grown organically, adding an ever increasing amount of information about CIBJO and the the issues facing the international jewellery and gemstone sector. It also will serve as a platform upon which CIBJO is able to deliver its tools and services for the industry, including its Blue Books of industry standards and nomenclature for the diamond, coloured gemstone, pearl, coral and precious metals sectors, and also gemmological laboratories. For non-CIBJO members, certain of these are available at a nominal fee, payable via the website”, noted Gaetano Cavalieri, the CIBJO President.

The new website is the first stage of a three-part upgrade of CIBJO’s online presence, expected to be rolled out over the coming few weeks. It will be followed by the inauguration of a members-only module, called “MY CIBJO,” providing online services for CIBJO members and its various professional committees, called commissions. A release of a CIBJO app for mobile phones and tablet computers is also in the pipeline.
