Introduction: Why Conflict-Free Diamonds Matter

A diamond is more than just a symbol of love and elegance—it’s a commitment. But that commitment should also extend to ethical sourcing and human rights.

At Innocence Diamond, we proudly offer only 100% natural and conflict-free diamonds, sourced from mines that uphold strict ethical standards.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to verify if your diamond is truly conflict-free, and what to look for when buying a natural diamond with a clean conscience.

What Is a Conflict Diamond?

Conflict diamonds—also known as blood diamonds—are stones that have been mined in war zones and sold to finance armed conflict, often in violation of basic human rights.

These diamonds:

• Fund violence and oppression

• Are often mined using child or forced labor

• Have no verifiable, ethical sourcing trail

At Innocence Diamond, we never source from regions or suppliers with any link to conflict or unethical labor.

What Makes a Diamond Conflict-Free?

A conflict-free diamond is one that:

• Has not financed any conflict or war

• Comes from a certified, transparent supply chain

• Is mined under fair labor conditions

• Complies with international initiatives like the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)

How to Know If Your Diamond Is Conflict-Free

Here are the key steps and red flags to look out for:

1. Check for Certification

A genuine conflict-free diamond should come with documentation from a recognized authority such as:

• GIA (Gemological Institute of America)

• IGI (International Gemological Institute)

• A Kimberley Process Certificate

Innocence Diamond guarantees full certification and traceability for every diamond.

2. Ask for the Diamond’s Origin

Request details about:

• Where the diamond was mined

• Which country and which mine it came from

• Whether the seller can trace the journey from mine to market

Transparent jewelers will have no issue sharing this data.

3. Choose Reputable, Ethical Retailers

Work only with companies that:

• Are open about their sourcing policies

• Support ethical mining communities

• Offer conflict-free guarantees

At Innocence Diamond, we partner only with certified ethical mines in countries like Canada, Botswana, and Namibia.

4. Beware of Vague Claims

Watch out for sellers who say:

• “We believe in conflict-free diamonds” without proof

• Use terms like “ethical” or “sustainable” with no certification

• Have no third-party verification

If the sourcing isn’t transparent, the diamond’s story likely isn’t either.

5. Consider Natural vs. Lab-Grown

While some consumers opt for lab-grown diamonds to avoid conflict issues, natural diamonds from reputable brands like Innocence Diamond offer certified ethical sourcing and retain higher long-term value.
