In its own way to express commitment to the environment, the diamond and jewellery industry is actively introducing new initiatives. One such area is the scope of grading and testing in which, EGL-USA recently launched its Envira Series Report. The Report independently analysis the authenticity and quality of eco-friendly jewellery, to inform the reader that the diamonds and metals of the evaluated piece are: conflict-free and environmentally friendly.

Giving a full-circle emphasis on environment friendliness, EGL-USA delivers the Report on recycled paper with soy-based ink. Only those jewellery pieces which meet specific eco-friendly criteria are eligible to be graded through this Report. EGL-USA has outlined its initiative with its signature elements: professional evaluations of shape and cutting style, carat weight, clarity, color, measurements, finish and cut grade.
