Diamonds Do Good Honors 2026 Award Winners

Diamonds Do Good (DDG) recognized Tiffany & Co., industry leader Anna Martin and jeweler CD Peacock for their contributions to the trade.  

DDG gave its Lifetime Achievement Award to Martin for her leadership, mentorship and long-standing influence on generations of jewelers in the industry, the organization said last week. The gala evening marking the organization’s 20th anniversary took place on the eve of the JCK show, which is running in Las Vegas from May 29 to June 1.

Other recipients included Tiffany & Co., for its leadership in sustainability and philanthropy.

The event, featuring well-known jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, marked a historic milestone, uniting representatives from Botswana, Angola, and Namibia — three of the world’s leading diamond-producing nations — to celebrate the unique value of natural diamonds and their role in supporting communities around the globe, DDG added.

The evening highlighted the story of Tshireletso Seoromeng, a young farmer and entrepreneur from Botswana whose agricultural business launched with support from a DDG grant. Her growing enterprise now supplies leading grocers and international food-service organizations across the country. After a film presentation of her journey, a live auction to fund a new greenhouse took place, with CD Peacock, recipient of the DDG 2026 Community Impact Award, securing the winning bid and naming rights.

“As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, tonight’s stories remind us that natural diamonds do far more than create beauty,” said Nancy Orem Lyman, executive director of DDG. “They create opportunity, strengthen communities, and transform lives. Bringing together leaders from across our industry — and from Botswana, Angola, and Namibia — demonstrated the extraordinary impact natural diamonds continue to have around the world.”

Founded in 2006, DDG is a nonprofit organization that shares stories of how natural diamonds transform lives and communities worldwide, spotlighting the industry’s positive global impact.
