You may have a few questions about diamonds and how they’re sourced! Check out some of our FAQs below.
Is diamond mining harmful to the environment?
The diamond industry is one of the most regulated industries in the world. In that, diamond producers have a small footprint, meaning mining operations do not require large area masses. To add to that, diamond mining does not require the use of toxic chemicals. The process relies on water and pressure to separate diamonds from the Kimberlite rock. Areas spent for diamond mining are restored and used as animal reserves.
Does diamond mining harm people?
Modern diamond mining creates safe and high-earning career opportunities in areas where job possibilities are limited. The De Beers Group, oversees standards that prioritize the safety, wellbeing and economic prosperity of their employees and contractors.
How do I know if a diamond was ethically sourced?
In addition to following the requirements of the Kimberley Process, the industry abides by international human rights laws and labor regulations. Our partners also follow country-specific rules to ensure it does business in the most responsible and sustainable way.
