Codiam Joins Up With Tiffany

Tiffany is continuing its moves upstream—the famed retailer will invest in a South African factory of DTC sightholder Rand Precision Cut Diamonds Ltd. Tiffany has agreed to buy all polished production that meets its specific quality standards from the joint venture, although it will not market the company’s Rand diamond brand. Codiam Inc., which is affiliated with Rand, will market the rest of its polished production.
