Along with the global diamond industry, has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict
diamonds. Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds
from mine to market, the industry in partnership with the United Nations, governments,
and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade
of illegal diamonds.
At Diatree, we only purchase diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers
who, like us, proudly adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley
Process. All Diatree diamonds are warrantied to be conflict free. If one of our
suppliers was ever found to be in violation of that process, we would immediately
sever that relationship. We will continue to support and promote any process that
works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond trade.
Diamonds are mined throughout the world, including major mines in Australia, Africa,
Russia and Canada. Diamonds are a major source of good in many African nations,
employing and providing healthcare to thousands. For more information on this issue,

Diatree supports the Kimberley process, which is an International process to track
and certify diamonds. In April 2003, congress and President Bush passed a law adopting
the Kimberley Process that requires all US diamond retailers to buy diamonds from
manufacturers who have documentation warranting that the merchandise was obtained
through legitimate channels. Today, the US Customs Service actively enforces the
Kimberley Process requirements as diamonds enter American ports. For further information,
please
