It is enrolled with the Department of Business Development, the Ministry of Commerce as a legal entity in the capacity of a trade association as of September 11, 2019. The primary aim is to advance, cultivate, and aid enterprises operating within the gem and jewelry sector in order to maximize benefits for members, and the gem and jewelry industry as a whole.
