Rezolúcia OSN na reformu Kimberleyského procesu .


RAPORT ... Valné zhromaždenie Organizácie Spojených národov (VZ OSN) prijalo uznesenie, ktoré vyzýva k reformám s cieľom zvýšiť účinnosť Kimberleyského procesu (KP),ktoré navrhla Svetová rada pre diamanty (WDC).

Európska únia navrhla uznesenie na 73. zasadnutí zhromaždenia 1. marca a všetci 193 členovia Valného zhromaždenia OSN sa dohodli.

"Najväčšou výzvou je prijatie uznesenia Valného zhromaždenia OSN, a to nielen preto, že odzrkadľuje výzvu na reformu, ktorú sme obhajovali spoločne s občianskou spoločnosťou na najnovšom plenárnom zasadnutí KP v Bruseli, ale aj preto, lebo bola schválená s podporou všetkých členských krajín Organizácie Spojených národov vrátane tých, na ktorých územiach sa diamanty ťažia, spracujú, obchodujú a predávajú v šperkoch, "uviedol v pondelok prezident WDC Stephane Fischler.

Tento krok sleduje odvolanie Fischlera, aby KP uskutočnil zmeny svojej politiky - predovšetkým rozšírenie svojej definície konfliktných diamantov - počas mimoriadneho zasadnutia, ktoré sa konalo minulý týždeň na Valnom zhromaždení OSN. Spoločnosť WDC podporila návrh Kanady na tento účel na plenárnom zasadnutí KP v novembri.

"Dúfame, že tento celosvetový záväzok neustáleho zlepšovania celistvosti globálneho dodávateľského reťazca nehrdzavejúcej diamanty všetkými týmito krajinami sa v priebehu tohto roka zopakuje na fóre Kimberleyského procesu," dodal Fischler.

Podpora OSN zdôrazňuje postavenie WDC, uviedla Rada a dodala, že dúfa, že to bude znamením zvýšenej účasti na KP v budúcnosti.

"Zdôraznila našu hlbokú vieru, že úloha KP je nielen obranná, ale aj proaktívna, pretože je katalyzátorom vytvárania spoločností s udržateľnými ekonomickými príležitosťami," vysvetlil Fischler.

Uznesenie bolo tiež prijaté od členov priemyselného odvetvia.

"Plne podporujem výzvu OSN a Svetovej diamantovej rady na posilnenie kimberleyského procesu," uviedol v pondelok tweeter David Bouffard, viceprezident pre korporátne záležitosti Signet Jewelers. "Kľúčové postavenie KP zohráva dôležitú úlohu pri neustálom zlepšovaní integrity celosvetového dodávateľského reťazca šperkov."

HRD vykoná zmeny v laboratórnych certifikátoch .

Mar 6, 2019 8:32 Od Rapaport News


RAPAPORT ... HRD Antverp zmenil systém , ktorý používa vo svojich laboratórnych diamantových certifikátoch, aby zodpovedal správam o prírodných kameňoch.

Grading lab, ktorý od roku 2013 vydáva dokumenty pre voľné syntetické materiály, rozšíri svoje kategórie farieb pre diamanty pestované v laboratóriách a aktualizuje svoju terminológiu 4Cs tak, aby zodpovedala certifikáciám, ktoré vydáva pre prírodné diamanty.

Zatiaľ čo starý laboratórne osvedčený diamantový certifikát obsahoval päť farieb, od svetla po bezfarebné, nová verzia uvádza 13, D je najvyššia známka a SZ je najnižšia. Nové osvedčenie obsahuje aj 10 stupňov jasnosti, od lupy j čistoty (LC) až po P3 (s odvolaním sa na piqué), zatiaľ čo triedy predchádzajúcej správy obsahovali (I).

Zmena, ktorá sa začína tento týždeň, nasleduje po internom rozhodnutí poskytnúť zákazníkom čo najpresnejšiu klasifikačnú správu, ktorá poskytuje "pravdivý" popis diamantu.

"Úloha klasifikačného laboratória musí byť 100% nestranná a informovať spotrebiteľa o presnej kvalite kameňa ... či je to laboratórne alebo prírodné," dodal hovorca.

Americký gemologický inštitút (GIA) plánuje aj krátko aktualizovať svoje správy o syntetických diamantoch, ale nepovedal presne kedy. Certifikáty obsahujú aj obmedzený počet farebných a jasných kategórií v porovnaní so správami, ktoré vydáva pre prírodné diamanty.

Okrem toho plánuje spustiť štúdiu o výrobe šperkov, ktorá poskytne všeobecný popis šperkov, ako aj podrobnosti o všetkých syntetických diamantoch, ktoré obsahuje, a o kovoch, z ktorých sa vyrába. Nová správa bude k dispozícii v septembri.

Já mám řezací kotouč z Tchaiwanu, odkud berou diamanty to nevím.

I acháty na tom jdou dobře. Dodělal jsem si hrubší kotouče.
Akorát je to bruska pro strojírenství (broušení nožů, nástrojů) a není stavěná na vyšší zátěž ( motor 125W). Takže po 20-30 minutách práce se musí nechat chladnout.

No to výrobce netušil :mrgreen: Předělal jsem brusku na značku DoDo (dodělej doma). A jsem celkem spokojený.
Ty nože by bruska zvládla brousit déle něž 30 minut, je tam malá styčná plocha. Ale několikacentimetrový achát je větší zátěž.

Jenom na ten čaj :D Na odpočinek rukou, některé kotouče už mám jeté tak, že vibrují. Navíc já se zabavím i jinak než broušením. Takže ty přestávky nevadí. V zimě na balkóně bruska chladne rychle :mrgreen: , horší je to v létě. Nechci ji zbytečně přetěžovat, protože výrobek používám určitě v rozporu s návodem. :D

Pokiaľ dodržuješ pravidelné prestávky a nepotrebuješ denne používať určite postačuje .
