The retail chain manages this through strict adherence to quality and internationally accepted standards, for example, 100 percent IGI certified diamonds, BIS Hallmark gold jewelry and PGI certified platinum jewelry. Joyalukkas, is also the first and only ISO 14001-2006 & ISO 9001-2008 certified jewelry retail chain,” he added.
