What has been done about conflict diamonds?
The diamond industry, governments, non-governmental organisations and the United Nations adopted the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to help eliminate the trade of conflict diamonds. Conflict free diamonds are transported in a tamper-resistant container and must be accompanied by a government-validated Kimberley Process Certificate.
Adya Diamonds insists that all our suppliers guarantee that any diamonds are conflict free, and that written guarantees are provided by the supplier to that effect.
