You’re protected in more ways than one… from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC), Jewelers' Security Alliance (JSA), to CIBJO.

As a consumer, you may be more familiar with the Federal Trade Commission as it deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. However, the other agencies are also working to protect you by monitoring the jewelry industry, as well as, by providing education and self-regulation to the jewelry industry.

These organizations help to make sure the industry operates under the highest standards of business practice, and gives consumers information on jewelry purchases, rights as a consumer, and how to handle a complaint or loss.
