ETHICAL & CONFLICT-FREE DIAMONDS
Because we care
Conflict-free
We only trade diamonds that are subjected by the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley Process is an international partnership between countries, NGOs and the diamond industry. The goal of the Kimberley Process is to exclude conflict diamonds from the international diamond trade and to prevent wars from being financed by these so-called blood diamonds.
At its peak in 1999, 4% of the diamonds traded were considered blood diamonds. Since the introduction of this certification, it is impossible to trade uncertified diamonds in Antwerp. All participating countries of the Kimberley Process account for 99.8% of traded diamonds worldwide, which means that the trade in
blood diamonds has been stopped.
Ethical
Diamonds and their revenue play a key role in the development and progress of countries worldwide. The mining of natural diamonds creates local jobs and funds that provide infrastructure, schools and health care in many neighborhoods. The contributions of the diamond industry in communities and families is of great value.
As the President of Botswana stated in June 2006. ''For our people, every diamond
purchased is representative for food on the table, better living conditions, better health care, safer drinking water, more roads connecting our remote
areas and much more.''
LAB GROWN
We can also offer any jewelry with Lab Grown diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are created using highly advanced technologies in laboratory-like environments. With the untrained eye, you cannot distinguish a Lab Grown from a natural diamond. The properties of a Lab Grown and a natural are the same.
We are happy to help you with a price for a piece of jewelry with lab-grown diamonds. What's the difference?
