Over the past decade, tens of thousands of people have been killed in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia and Sierra Leone in wars funded by the illegal sale of diamonds.
The Kimberley Process has gone some way to reducing the trade in these so-called ‘blood diamonds’, but it has not eliminated the problem entirely. Diamonds are being smuggled out of the rebel-held north of Cote d’Ivoire and out of eastern DRC, and continue to be used for money laundering, tax evasion and organised crime.1
We only buy diamonds we can trace back to their original source.
Our white diamonds are mined in Lesotho and Canada, while our fancy-coloured cultured diamonds are produced in the US.
This means you can be 100 per cent certain that all of our diamonds are conflict-free.
