Responsible Jewellery Council Competitors

At GIA, we believe every gem has a story — formed deep within the earth and revealed through science. For nearly 100 years, we’ve been bringing those stories to light through research, discovery and education. As a nonprofit, our mission is to ensure confidence in gems and jewelry by blending innovation, knowledge and science. From creating the 4Cs of diamond quality to inventing tools used worldwide, we make learning an adventure and turn discovery into truth. We don’t buy, sell or appraise gems. Instead, we provide trusted reports, education, and insights that help people — from industry professionals to everyday consumers — make informed decisions with clarity. This is GIA: where curiosity fuels innovation, knowledge builds confidence and science inspires a world of trust.

charity: water is a non-profit bringing clean and safe drinking water to people around the world. Since 2006, we've funded more than 186,000 water projects in 29 countries. When complete, these projects will provide clean, safe drinking water for more than 20.3 million people. 703 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water, that's one in ten of us. Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. The good news: there are simple solutions, from deep drilled wells to water filtration systems. With the help of 2 million+ donors and individual fundraisers, we've raised over $1B for both water and operations, forming a strong force against the water crisis. Join us!
