Context
The 2025 Impact Report positions Diamonds Do Good amid three shaping forces in the jewelry market: heightened sustainability expectations, the continued pricing pressure from lab-grown alternatives, and a growing appetite for sculptural, materially conscious design. The nonprofit’s work—focused on education, health and economic opportunity where natural diamonds are mined, crafted and sold—provides the granular sourcing narratives that consumers and auditors increasingly demand.
What the Report Finds
The organization reports it helped create hundreds of jobs and expand educational access for more than 1,400 students. Mental-health access was extended in partner communities, and roughly 200 women entrepreneurs received resources, tools and mentorship aimed at financial independence. Pete Engel, chair of Diamonds Do Good, framed these outcomes as the product of sustained partner commitments: “Their ongoing commitment helps us grow our impact, further our mission, and share genuine stories that connect with today’s consumers.”
Why This Matters to U.S. Retailers and Investors
For U.S. jewelers and investors, the report is a practical asset rather than an abstract claim. It supplies evidence-level detail for product provenance statements, supports marketing narratives without hyperbole, and mitigates sourcing risk by showing active community engagement where natural diamonds originate. In a market where store-floor trust translates into willingness to pay, demonstrable impact can protect margin against lab-grown price compression and strengthen relationships with value-conscious customers.
How to Use the Report
Retail buyers can cite the report in assortment briefs and consumer-facing education, procurement teams can reference program outputs during supplier due diligence, and investors or sustainability officers can fold the findings into ESG reporting. The report’s emphasis on education and entrepreneurship offers concrete talking points for in-store narratives and digital storytelling that favor tactile language—workforce development with measurable scale, not slogans.
