.RUSSIA’S ruby market is actually under the gun. On January first the G7, a group of wealthy countries, and also the European Union outlawed imports of tough rubies extracted in Russia– a third of the overall removed worldwide in 2022.

In September they will introduce an accreditation program to verify where precious stones were mined. These procedures amount to the most significant improvement to your business in many years.
