That means it complies with the principle that it meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This is prerequisite that we developed together with CIBJO and WJCEF, which are the only bodies in the international jewellery sector to be formally affiliated to the development programme of the United Nations." %% The university requires the applicant to be a first and second level graduate holding a high school-level diploma from an art school or goldsmith institute, as well as professional jewellers.
