Responsible Sourcing

The World's Largest Retailer of Diamond Jewelry

The World's Largest Retailer of Diamond Jewelry As the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry, it’s our duty to hold not only ourselves but every member of our complex global network of partners to the highest standards for the sustainability of our planet and protection of human rights for those who work within our supply chain. Signet is a co-founding and 3-time certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) since 2005, and we require 100% of our key suppliers become certified RJC members by 2025. This ensures that we’re able to fulfill our mission to help customers Celebrate Life and Express Love by providing them quality jewelry that has been sourced and produced with integrity.

Our Commitment to Responsibly Sourced Precious Minerals and Metals

Signet Jewelers is one of only a few publicly traded companies in the U.S. – the only jewelry company – to submit an independently audited Conflict Mineral Report every year since 2014. It reflects our efforts to responsibly source all precious metals, diamonds and gemstones.

Responsible Sourcing at Jared

As part of Signet Jewelers, Jared is committed to a conflict-free supply chain. All precious metals and precious stones that Jared sells are conflict-free. This means these resources are acquired in a manner that is respectful of human rights.

The Signet Responsible Sourcing Protocol

Embracing the Circular Economy

To love brilliantly, we need to love sustainably. That means working to extend the life of every piece of jewelry we touch with the idea of fulfilling what’s known as the circular economy. We offer these opportunities and programs to help our customers cherish their jewelry for a lifetime — keeping the jewelry in use for as long as possible not only to extract maximum value, but also to enjoy the brilliant beauty of their most treasured pieces.
