All our diamonds come from legitimate sources and have been purchased in accordance with the international Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.

On December 1st, 2000, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted resolution 55/56 in favor of creating a legal framework for the certification of rough diamonds that led to the Kimberley agreement.

The Kimberley Process is an international agreement for the certification of rough diamonds, set up by governments and the diamond trade. Its objective is to avoid the purchase in world markets of diamonds proposed by rebel movements and guerrillas to finance their military activities aimed at destabilizing and overthrowing legitimately elected governments.

Initiated in May 2000 in Kimberley in South Africa, this agreement is the result of discussions that led to its signature on January 1st, 2003 between countries in the European Union, Canada and the United States. Since 2007, the Kimberley Process has 54 members representing 81 countries. This international cooperation was motivated by the problem of “blood diamonds” quarried in conflict zones and used by warlords to supply arms and finance conflicts.
