Conflict Free or "Green" Diamonds

With the recent controversy over the source of some diamonds we felt the need to give our view on this subject.

Diamonds we supply, are from gem merchants we have confidently purchased from for the last ten years or more.

This insures we, and you the customer get consistency in price and quality.

These suppliers sell gemstones that comply with the,"Kimberley Process Certification Scheme" that was established in 2002 by the diamond industry, to avoid the incidence of so called "Blood diamonds" entering the gem market.

The "Kimberly process" is a system that covers the mine to the market, distribution of diamonds. But like all such schemes, will not be perfect.

We believe by keeping to suppliers that we trust, we are doing our best within a system that is not perfect.

In the end it will come down to a personal decision.
There are alternatives that can replace diamonds and other gemstones, that represent excellent quality,wear ability and brilliance and are indistinguishable from the real thing.
Created, or man made gems such as Moissonite, Byron or Chattam created gems can be a beautiful and conscience free, alternative.

These gems are manufactured in laboratories using the same elements and materials that the natural gems posses.

Their quality is often better than the naturally occurring stone and cheaper.

We are happy to supply you with more specific details, if this is an option you would consider.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article.

Should you require more specific information or have other queries, we are always happy to help.................
