Canadian Guidelines with Respect to the Sale and Marketing of Diamonds, Coloured Gemstones and Pearls: Revised Edition 2003

The Canadian Guidelines with Respect to the Sale and Marketing of Diamonds, Coloured Gemstones and Pearls were revised in 2003 by a Jewellers Vigilance Canada Inc. special committee in consultation with industry members and the Competition Bureau and with reference to other internationally recognized standards. These guidelines were originally developed in 1994 by a Jewellers Vigilance Canada committee in cooperation with the Canadian Jewellers Association, the Canadian Gemmological Association, the Quebec Professional Gemmologists Association, the Canadian Advertising Foundation and the federal government represented by Industry Canada to provide for voluntary compliance rather than a regulatory compliance program. The Diamond Guidelines were adopted by Consumer & Corporate Affairs Canada in 1986 and were revised when they were incorporated with the Coloured Gemstones and Pearls Guidelines adopted by Industry Canada in 1994. These revised guidelines, which are endorsed by the Competition Bureau, are presented in three sections: Diamonds, Coloured Gemstones and Pearls.
