RE:	Jewelry Guides, Matter No. G711001

I am writing in my capacity as President of the World Jewelry Confederation, CIBJO.  Our association members are national jewelry trade associations from around the world.  As articulated in our mission statement, “CIBJO's purpose is to encourage harmonization, promote international cooperation in the jewellery industry, and to consider issues which concern the trade worldwide.  Foremost among these is to protect consumer confidence in the industry.”
