FURA Gems has achieved certification from the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), following an independent third-party audit of its operations.
The certification confirms the company’s compliance with the RJC Code of Practices, which establishes requirements across business ethics, human rights, labour conditions, environmental management, and responsible supply chain practices. The audit covered FURA’s ruby and sapphire mining assets, including operations in Australia and Mozambique.
The development marks a step towards greater formalisation of compliance frameworks within the coloured gemstone sector, where supply chains have historically been fragmented. With this certification, FURA aligns its operations with globally recognized standards increasingly adopted across the diamond and jewellery value chain.
The company has also been advancing traceability initiatives, including blockchain-enabled systems aimed at tracking gemstones from mine to market. Such measures are gaining traction as industry stakeholders seek greater transparency and accountability in sourcing.
RJC certification is becoming a key benchmark for mining companies and suppliers seeking to meet evolving expectations from global jewellery brands and retailers. FURA’s certification reflects a broader shift towards standardized practices in the coloured gemstone segment, with implications for sourcing, traceability, and responsible procurement across international markets.
