(PRESS RELEASE) AVENTURA, FL — Green Rocks Diamonds, a producer of high-quality created diamonds sold under the Green Rocks brand, has been accredited under the SCS 007 Sustainability Rated Diamond Standard for Trial Use. This achievement grants Green Rocks the authorization to use the claim of “Certified Sustainability Rated Diamond” on premium diamonds produced in its production facility in Nesher, Israel.

An early adopter of this trend-setting sustainability standard during the pilot stage, Green Rocks earned accreditation after completing a comprehensive third-party audit. Green Rocks met all relevant requirements of the Standard spanning five major pillars of sustainability: origin assurance, ethical stewardship, climate neutrality, sustainable production practices and strategic sustainability investments. The audit included extensive on-site inspection, interviews, documentation review, diamond testing, and a full assessment of the life-cycle of the diamonds.

Green Rocks CEO, Leon Peres said, “At Green Rocks, we believe that sustainability is the ultimate luxury. Our retail partners are increasingly demanding that products be produced and handled in sustainable ways that don’t hurt the environment or infringe on human and worker rights. We are proud of our achievement in meeting the requirements of the SCS-007 standard as it provides independent proof of our commitment to sustainability and transparency. We are excited to be selling these premium certified stones that bring tremendous value to the consumers and to the diamond industry.”

“Green Rocks was examined for its adherence to stringent benchmarks of social and environmental accountability, transparency and provenance assurance,” said Stanley Mathuram, executive vice president at SCS Global Services, the third-party certification body . “This is a tremendous accomplishment. We’d like to congratulate them on their hard work and proven success as a trendsetter in the jewelry industry.”

The standard was developed under an international, multi-stakeholder process managed by the non-profit standards development body, SCS Standards Development. The Standard Development Committee included diamond producers, retailers, technology experts, environmental and social responsibility civil society representatives and academia.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
