    No Conflict Diamonds | Reading about blood diamonds in the worldpress

    June 17, 2006, 8:00 pm

    Earlier today, I remembered an online article I’d read from about five months ago, which was written by Pervenia Brown, on world press. And the part that struck me the most was a quote that was in there about a report by the Partnership Africa Canada. It said that “upwards of 50,000 have been killed, half the population displaced, and more than two-thirds of its already severely limited infrastructure destroyed.” And that meanwhile, the underground trade of illicit diamonds is thriving. As conflict diamonds are valued “between 4 percent and 15 percent of the world total” and generate annual trade revenues of $7.5 billion.”

    Which to be true in this day and age, just as a possibility, is staggering. So please
    read the rest of the Blood Diamonds in Sierra Leone article. And make sure to be aware of your bling’s certificate of origin. As we try to ensure legitimate governance under international law, always.

Namely, if you are trying to purchase a stoned that comes as close as possible to mimicking the properties of a natural diamond moissanite is not the best choice. With the author’s reasons of why, and what might be a better synthetic diamond solution:

    Natural mined diamonds have been coming under a lot of heat recently. Award-winning journalist Cecil Adams sums it up the best in a recent article: “diamonds are a scam, pure and simple.” Most people in the new millennium understand that between the DeBeers diamond cartel, the issue of child labor in Third World diamond processing operations, and “blood diamonds” used to finance oppression and genocide in Third World African countries, not to mention your snooty and pretentious local jeweler, diamonds are just not worth the hassle, guilt, and let’s not forget thousands and thousands of questionably spent dollars.

    Lately, new synthetic diamonds have come on the market that have all of the look, appeal, and glittering beauty of natural diamonds, but without the baggage … [ continued ]
