ETHICAL DIAMOND BUYING

In the late 1990's the world became aware of rough diamonds from some African countries being traded to fund rebel fighters and insurgencies. These diamonds became known as 'conflict' or 'blood diamonds'.

In order to address this problem, the international diamond industry along with governments introduced the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. This process requires all rough diamonds to be accompanied by a Kimberly Process Certificate. This certifies that the diamond has been purchased legitimately.

We only source our diamonds from legitimate sources that adhere to the Kimberly Process rules. This ensures we know the legitimacy of all the diamonds we buy to ensure they have not been involved in any conflict funding.
