Conflict Free Diamonds

ALL OUR DIAMONDS ARE GUARANTEED CONFLICT-FREE!

What is meant by ‘Conflict Free’ Diamonds?

‘Conflict Diamonds’ are those that are sold illegally to fund conflict. The term was created when rebels in some African countries used diamonds to fund activities against legitimate governments. When the problem was at its peak, conflict diamonds accounted for only 4% of the world’s diamond trade. Today it is less than 1%.

This reduction in their supply has been achieved by the diamond industry and governments adopting the Kimberley Process Certification System (2002) to ensure that only legitimately sourced diamonds are traded.

The Kimberley Process Certification System

Rough diamonds traded between countries supporting the Kimberley Process Certification System are shipped in a tamper resistant container and accompanied by a government validated KP certificate. Once imported and ready to be sold, a written statement accompanies all invoices guaranteeing that the diamonds or diamond jewellery are being sold from legitimate sources.

Our Conflict Free Diamonds

All of our diamonds are guaranteed to be Conflict Free. Our diamonds are bought from manufacturers who guarantee on their invoice (in writing) that their diamonds are conflict free.

“In accordance with the self-regulation and chain of warranties required by the Kimberley Process the diamonds herein invoiced have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with UN Regulations, the seller hereby guarantees these diamonds are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and or written guarantees by the supplier of these diamonds.”
