So what can you do to make sure you have a guilt-free diamond to say “I do”?
Even before the release of Blood Diamond socially conscious couples have been actively searching for
conflict free diamonds for their engagement and
wedding rings.
So-called blood diamonds are typically mined in African war zones and sold to fund devastating civil wars.
For the past 15 years, an estimated 500,000 Angolans, 50,000 people in Sierra Leone, and nearly 4 million people in the Democratic Republic of Congo have died from civil wars funded through the sale of
conflict free diamonds otherwise known as blood diamonds.
Many couples believe they are avoiding all the brutality associated with blood diamonds when they buy engagement rings tagged as “conflict free,” but that is not necessarily the case. Make sure to ask your jeweler if their diamonds are truly
Conflict Free Diamonds.
