Tiffany, part of French luxury group LVMH, said in March last year it had stopped sourcing rough diamonds from Russia. With various proposals under consideration, the industry is currently debating how a diamond's country of origin should be checked, where it should be done, and what sizes of stones, rough or polished, should be part of the rule.

Demand for diamond jewellery is already suffering in the U.S., home to 55% of global demand, due to high interest rates, a muted post-pandemic recovery in China, and competition from lab-grown diamonds.
