We’re in tricky territory when free speech is protected, but that same protection is used to incite, cover up or prolificate criminal activity.

Pavel Durov is an impressive founder, CEO and engineer. And with him detained in France 🇫🇷 today really brings Morality vs. Legality to the forefront.

How do we protect privacy and freedom of expression without letting those same freedoms be misused for illegal purposes?

It’s a tough balance to strike, and it’s something we all need to think about as we navigate the responsibilities that come with building and managing digital platforms today.

They hinted it was coming last week, and now it’s here !

We have transcended traceability by launching transparent jewellery brands—not just a diamond journey, but a movement that embodies the essence of values, impact and storytelling, combined with all material events of the value chain.

This week, I’m beyond excited to announce the *Leonardo Da Vinci Cut* diamond collection with Ernest Jones.

This is more than just a diamond collection; it’s a landmark in our mission to reshape the jewelry industry with transparency and integrity. With full traceability to its Country of Origin, the Leonardo Da Vinci Cut represents precision, innovation, and the commitment to sustainable luxury that defines both Everledger and Ernest Jones

We are building something truly edgy—integrating traceability with purpose, story, impact, and brand identity.

For Everledger this is just the beginning. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created together, and there’s so much more to come.

Stay tuned for the next chapter!

Sports rivalries can get as intense as a sibling fight over the TV remote, but these gymnasts showed us what true sportsmanship looks like. Not only did they compete at the highest level, but they also cheered each other on like the supportive best friends we all wish we had.

Rebeca Andrade gracefully flew to gold, proving that hard work and talent go hand in hand. Meanwhile, Simone Biles showed us what resilience truly means, overcoming challenges like a champion. Seriously, the woman could teach a masterclass in bouncing back—literally and figuratively!

Imagine dedicating your life to something and, when you don’t take the top spot, you’re genuinely thrilled for someone else who does. That’s the kind of leadership we all need more of: knowing that it’s not just about winning but about lifting each other up.

The Olympics reminded us that being a good sport isn’t just a cliché; it’s a leadership lesson wrapped in leotards and glitter. These gymnasts have set the bar higher than my expectations for my New Year’s resolutions.

So, thank you ladies … I’ll take a page out of their book and bring this spirit of support and encouragement into our work and lives.

Who knows, maybe we can all stick the landing with style and grace.

Congrats to these incredible women for showing us that success is even sweeter when shared. 🎉

Thrilled to have participated in the Harvard Executive Program for the 9th consecutive year!

It’s always a week overflowing with research & insight whilst balancing my double commitment to Harvard and MIT. This dual engagement enriches every aspect of my work, from Everledger to my role as an adjunct professor. 👩‍🏫 and I don’t mind indulging in a lobster roll or 5 🦞

Like a cat with 9 lives, each year breathes new life into my creative thought, consistent ex*****on and strategy.

Giddy up! 🐎

I’m ready to trampoline the knowledge gains into another transformative year: with experiences and a gusto to push the boundaries once more!

G7 Sanctions: 🚨 what a weekend of work & wonder 💭

So, let's talk about the recent Antwerp police 👮 busts, sparked by suspicions around Russian 🇷🇺 diamond imports, which ended up with four people in cuffs. It's a big wake-up call, showing us just how crucial it is to stay on our toes and play by the rules in our industry.

I spent the weekend looking back on the first 20 days of the sunrise period with our team, & amidst all the sanctions and certifications flying around, it's clear there's a ton of uncertainty in the air. But hey, amidst all this chaos, recent events are like a flashing neon sign reminding us to keep our eyes peeled and stay on the straight and narrow.

Those Antwerp 🇧🇪 raids, specifically aimed at those Russian diamonds, really shine a light on how the rules of the game are changing in the world of trade. It's all about stepping up our game and making sure we've got our compliance game strong.

With the 🇪🇺 EU and G7 banning Russian diamonds left, right, and center since January 1st, and extending it to Russian-origin stones via third countries from March 1st, it's a whole new ball game out there.

Working with our customers is exhilarating, they are quick on their feet & stay ahead of the curve when it comes to following the rules.

So, let's get real – it's absolutely crucial for businesses to “dot their i's and cross their t's”, doing their homework and sticking to the playbook when it comes to regulations.

💯 with integrity and transparency, no shortcuts allowed as we navigate through this wild regulatory ride.

Let's stay fierce and totally committed to rocking compliance excellence in the face of whatever challenges come our way !

Antwerp police conducted six raids on Wednesday and made four arrests as part of an investigation into some diamond imports suspected of being Russian-origin, Antwerp's public prosecutor office said in a statement on Friday.

Rishi Sunak struts in, soaking up applause, then drops a bombshell: UK's 🇬🇧 kissing Russian 🇷🇺 energy goodbye... sort of. Cue eye rolls as he signs with a French 🇫🇷 company importing Russian LNG.

Talk about political sleight of hand.

Meanwhile, the energy scene's a mess. We're preaching green while struggling to power electric cars. It's like trying to fuel a rocket with a lemonade stand.

And speaking of political stunts, if the French can nationalize energy, why can't we? Oh right, because our government prefers playing games to getting things done. Labour could step up, nationalize industries, but nope, we're stuck with the money drain.

But hey, maybe there's hope. Maybe, with some Churchillian grit and common sense, we can turn things around. All it takes is a few good folks in the right places, right? Easy peasy.

It’s a jammed schedule for our team this week at COP27:

Reducing emissions & decarbonising economies is urgently required, however time is running out and the technology to do so is not always available. That's where Everledger Platform and our work comes in.

Companies and individuals can account for their unavoidable emissions by committed action on carbon insetting(not offsetting) activities that support community development, protect ecosystems or install efficient technology to reduce or remove emissions from the atmosphere.
