CONFLICT FREE & LAB GROWN DIAMONDS
|
What is a CONFLICT FREE DIAMOND?
Simply put, these earth mined gems are subject to the terms of the Kimberly Process which was established in 2003 to prevent the sale of rough diamonds used to finance wars against governments around the world.
Today, 99.8% of diamond production is conflict free. How is this guaranteed? Diamonds are secured and sealed at the source, certified as conflict free, shipped only to participating Kimberly Process members worldwide, and are received untampered.

Many of our natural diamonds are hand cut in Antwerp, Belgium, by old world Masters. Proportioning and faceting are done by sight and feel alone. Absolutely AMAZING!

When visiting the cutters in Belgium, I noticed holes in the office window. They looked like bullet holes. When I asked what happened, the cutter pointed to the diamond on the wheel and said, “Sometimes they get away!"

What is a LAB GROWN DIAMOND?
Just as the name implies, these manmade gem crystals are created in a laboratory. Lab grown diamonds are OPTICALLY and CHEMICALLY the SAME as those mined from the earth. When you see them, you cannot tell the difference. They are real diamonds and not only beautiful, but offer the option of larger sizes for your budget and are ecologically friendly.
