The jewelry industry has long faced concerns regarding the ethical sourcing of diamonds. Conflict diamonds, also known as "blood diamonds," fund armed conflicts and exploit vulnerable communities. At Scott Bonomo Diamond Setting, we believe that beauty should never come at a moral cost. That’s why we are committed to offering ethically sourced, conflict-free diamonds. In this blog, we’ll discuss what conflict-free diamonds are, why they matter, and how choosing ethical jewelry supports sustainable practices.
What Are Conflict-Free Diamonds?
Conflict-free diamonds are gemstones that are mined and traded without funding violence or violating human rights. These diamonds comply with international regulations, such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks the journey of diamonds from mine to market. At Scott Bonomo, we go beyond compliance to ensure our diamonds meet the highest ethical standards.
Why Ethical Sourcing Matters
Protecting Communities
Unethical mining practices often exploit workers, violate labor laws, and harm local communities. Ethical sourcing ensures fair wages, safe working conditions, and community development.
Environmental Responsibility
Diamond mining can lead to deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution. Conflict-free diamonds often come from responsibly managed sources that minimize environmental impact.
Supporting Conscious Consumerism
Today’s buyers value transparency and sustainability. Choosing conflict-free diamonds aligns with these values, allowing consumers to make purchases they can feel good about.
