Ethical Diamonds: Where to Find Conflict-Free & Sustainable Options


Question
Hi, could you tell me if it's possible to buy an ethical diamond? I figure one from Australia may be better than from Africa but then am still concerned about people mining aboriginal land. Do you know much about this ? Thanks..  

Answer
HI TANJA,

HOW ABOUT A CANADIAN DIAMOND? ONE OF THE BIGGEST PRODUCERS OF DIAMOND TODAY IS CANADA. THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT GAURANTEED ETHICAL. THEY ARE ENGRAVED WITH THE 'POLAR BEAR' MADE IN CANADA SIGN ON THE GIRDLE AND INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE. YOU CAN LOOK FOR THEM ON THE INTERNET OR SHOP MAJOR RETAILERS FOR THEM. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS WITH AUSTRALIA OR CANADA MINING ABORIGINAL LANDS.
