What are Non-Conflict Diamonds?

Non-conflict diamonds in Atlanta represent the word non-conflict—they are diamonds that haven't been used to finance civil wars or any other form of human bloodshed.

Sourced from mines that have passed the rigorous standards set by The Kimberly Process, they're designed to ensure a diamond has come from a conflict-free source and is also free of human rights abuses.

What is the Kimberly Process?

The Kimberly Process (KP) is a certification system designed to ensure that diamonds are sourced from conflict-free sources. It was established in 2003 to prevent the trade of so-called "blood diamonds" and requires exporting countries to provide detailed information about the diamond’s origin, such as the following attributes:

• Source - Where it was mined
• Cutter/Polisher - Who cut and polished it
• Manufacturer - Where the diamond was processed for sale
• Value - What it is worth
• Weight - How much it weighs
• Details of the transaction - Who is involved in the transaction

Countries that comply with these requirements can be granted KP certification which then allows their shipments to be accepted in international markets.

Are Non-Conflict Diamonds More Expensive?

It may surprise you to know that non-conflict diamonds in Atlanta are not more expensive than other diamonds! A significant 99% of the rough diamonds on the market today are non-conflict, so they’re typically priced the same or similarly as conflict diamonds.

When shopping for diamonds, it is important to ensure you're buying from reputable suppliers. If you’re purchasing online, make sure to double-check the seller’s credentials. Specifically, look for KP Certified diamonds that have passed the rigorous standards of The Kimberly Process. This will be located on the diamond's certificate or gemological report. It’s a guarantee that the diamond has come from a conflict-free source.
