Diamond Trading and the Kimberly Process
When considering a diamond purchase, many people are concerned about the ethics of how the diamonds are sourced. This is because historically there has been a problem with diamonds being traded illegally in order to fund conflict. Thanks to the UN-backed Kimberley Process Certification System, over 99% of the world’s supply of diamonds are now conflict-free. The Kimberly Process requires certification each time a diamond is traded to ensure that the process is entirely legal. Now the diamond industry is fueling economic growth and prosperity in African countries instead of financing violence. To learn more about conflict-free diamonds visit www.diamondfacts.org.
