Ethical diamonds, for your peace of mind

There are few things in this world that rival the beauty of a diamond. However, many of these fine stones are ‘conflict diamonds’. Conflict diamonds are sourced from places with dangerous and unethical conditions for the people who mine them, and traded by rebel movements that threaten local stability and peace.

Ethical diamonds have become a hot topic in recent years. Ethical diamonds refers to a process of confirming the source and seller of diamonds used for jewelry. This process ensures that the trade of those stones did not contribute to violence and unrest. At Joseph Gann, we want you to know that the jewelry, like your engagement ring, is made of materials that come from ethical channels. That’s why Joseph Gann adheres to the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley Process (or “KP”) is an international certification for diamonds. It documents a diamond’s journey from its source to its setting, allowing us to show you where it came from and confirm that it was ethically traded. The KP is an international alliance through which members voluntarily submit to strict requirements of conflict-free production and trade. Rough diamonds come with a certificate to guarantee that they are conflict-free and trace their origins. All diamonds at Joseph Gann are ethically sourced and have been traded under the KP guidelines. For example, if you are purchasing an engagement ring from us and you want peace of mind that your diamond ring was created ethically, you should simply inquire about the diamond’s KP certificate. Our associates can confirm this for you, and also conduct a deeper inquiry about the country of origin and additional details to show you where your diamond came from. Ethical diamonds are an important standard for fine jewelry. Let us help you design beautiful diamond jewelry with conflict-free stones.
