It is reported that these types of
diamonds are mainly mined from the war-torn areas of Africa.
It is really important to make sure that you are purchasing a conflict-free
diamond ring so that you do not support any of the criminal activities. In fact, taking parts in any deals that are associated with a conflict
diamond ring is illegal in most parts of the world, including the United States. So, try to shop only at
diamond ring retailers who guarantee to sell ethical
diamond rings that are certified by the Kimberly process, which is a certification program that plays a major role in preventing the trade of conflict
diamond rings.
Similarly, avoid purchasing
diamonds that are mined from conflict-prone areas
such as Angola, Liberia, Zimbabwe, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, etc. Instead, shop a conflict-free
diamond ring from retailers who sell
diamonds that are mined from the areas where the environmental standards are met and human rights are protected like Canada, Namibia, Botswana, etc.
