With a large variety of popular designs to choose from, PrimeSettings.com offers its customers noticeably lower prices than its retail and wholesale competitors. Many jewelry manufacturers, such as PrimeSettings.com, are aware of the issues surrounding “blood diamonds” and seek to provide conflict-free diamonds to their customers.

Over the last two decades, horrific violence surrounding the diamond trade in war-torn countries in Africa has come to light. Diamonds that are mined and illegally traded to support the efforts of violent factions fighting in civil wars are commonly called conflict or blood diamonds. Not only are the profits from the trade of such diamonds being used to fund violence, but many illegal mining operations are notorious for inhumane conditions and human exploitation.

In 2000, a total of 80 diamond-producing countries gathered in Kimberley, South Africa to discuss the problem. As a result, the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was launched. The scheme outlines procedures that are intended to curb the trade of blood diamonds sourced in war-torn areas. Certification procedures were initiated to provide officials with information regarding each diamond’s origin, mining process, cutting location, parties involved, and the ultimate destination of the stone.

While the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme takes steps in the right direction, most experts agree that the guidelines that were put into place fall short of what is ultimately required to halt the trade of illegally sourced diamonds. Certifications can be forged, and the smuggling of illegal stones thrives. Experts advise international trading companies to conduct their own due diligence regarding the supply chains of the stones they buy to prevent illegal stones from entering into global markets.]]> 2017-07-12 23:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Primesettingscom/About/wish/178597882
