Every Diamond in Diana Vincent Jewelry is Conflict-Free and Child Labor Free.

Diana Vincent is aware of the problem of conflict diamonds and has taken measures to guarantee that no conflict diamonds enter its supply chain or its jewelry.

Thanks in great part to international cooperation between governments, the diamond industry, retail jewelers and non-government organizations such as Global Witness and Partnership Africa Canada, vast improvements have been made in the fight against conflict diamonds. However one diamond used to fund conflict is one too many, and continued vigilance is essential.

Conflict diamonds are rough, uncut diamonds used by rebel movements or their allies to finance armed conflict aimed at undermining legitimate governments. In 1998 the Non-government Organization (NGO) Global Witness brought to the world's attention the fact that rebel groups were funding their wars against legitimate governments in this way.

The World Diamond Council has worked successfully with the United Nations, governments and groups such as Global Witness and Partnership Africa Canada to introduce a system for the certification of the source of uncut diamonds to prevent the trade in conflict diamonds. This system, known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), was formally adopted in November 2002, and came into operation on January 1, 2003.

The KPCS requires participating governments to ensure that each shipment of rough diamonds exported be in a secure container and accompanied by a uniquely numbered, government-validated certificate stating that the diamonds are conflict-free. Over 45 countries participate, representing all the nations with significant involvement in the diamond trade. All 45 importing countries agree not to accept any rough diamonds without an approved Kimberley Process Certificate.

We believe the injury and hardship suffered by any local population when conflicts arise in diamond producing areas is unacceptable. We believe that seeking to profit from conflicts in diamond producing areas is also unacceptable, and we are committed to taking action to address concerns arising out of the misuse of rough diamonds:

Diana Vincent jewelry is only available at, the Diana Vincent Store, and at dianavincent.com. Diana Vincent purchases diamonds only from suppliers that adhere to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and the System of Warranties.

The System of Warranties was developed by the World Diamond Council (WDC) representing the entire spectrum of the industry from mining houses to retail jewelers. Its principal element is the requirement for a declaration on the invoice accompanying every transaction of rough diamonds, polished diamonds and diamond jewelry that declares that the diamonds are 'not involved in funding conflict and are in compliance with United Nations resolutions. These warranties and declarations are subject to audit and oversight by the relevant national authorities.

Under the provisions of the Kimberley Process, mandated by the United Nations, endorsed by the Security Council and enshrined in the national law of all participating countries, Diana Vincent, and all other members of the industry are obliged to trade only with sellers that use the System of Warranties.

We have informed all our trade diamond suppliers in writing that we require them to supply Diana Vincent exclusively with merchandise that complies with the Kimberley Process, which obliges them to issue the following guarantee in writing:

"The diamonds herein invoiced have been purchased from legitimate sources that are not involved in funding conflict and are in compliance with United Nations resolutions. The seller hereby guarantees that these diamonds are conflict free based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantee provided by the supplier of these diamonds."

Our retail sales associates are fully knowledgeable with regard to Kimberley Process requirements. Additionally we have briefed them on government regulations and the Diana Vincent policy to combat the trade in conflict diamonds. Sales associates are encouraged to provide interested customers with copies of Diana Vincent's policy and supplier warranties, and to enter into discussion about the issue of conflict diamonds and Diana Vincent's role in preventing their trade.

We also require that our suppliers warrant to Diana Vincent that the merchandise they supply will be manufactured under working conditions consistent with international guidelines, primarily the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Labor Organization conventions, particularly those relating to child labor.
