New legislation on diamond sale

AWDC inform the diamond sector about new legislation that will come into force from 1 May 2023 regarding the provision of information that will become mandatory when selling natural and/or synthetic diamonds (mounted or unmounted) to consumers.

1: The fact whether the product is/contains natural or synthetic diamond(s) as well as the number of stones;

2: The fact whether the natural or synthetic diamond(s) is/are treated/untreated – The weight of the natural diamond(s) or the synthetic diamond(s) &

3: If applicable, the type of treatment to which the natural diamond(s) or the synthetic diamond(s) has/have been subjected.

The information is provided by means of a paper document or, if the consumer agrees, on another durable data carrier, which is handed over to the consumer. The information provided is readable and clear and contains at least,

1: the company number;

2: the trade name or company name;

3: the address where the company is established.

4: the identification of the good. The document is dated and signed by a natural person who can legally represent the company. The legislator also provides a template document in the annex to the Royal Decree, which is deemed to comply with these requirements of the Royal Decree.
