Origin and ethics of diamonds.
Due to the rarity of diamonds and thus its high value, diamonds have historically been associated with many questions about their ethics. This is because among the diamonds on the market, there have been diamonds that have been mined from war zones and sold to finance war or insurrection. According to some estimates, as late as the mid-1990s, 15 percent of the diamonds sold in the world came from conflict zones, but by the mid-2000s, the proportion had dropped to 1 percent.
For us as jewelry makers, it is especially important that the diamonds that serve as the crowns of the jewelry and the symbols of eternal love are of such a origin that their background does not tarnish the muting brilliance and dignity of the diamond. That is why we require our diamond suppliers to provide written proof of the origin and ethics of the diamonds.
