14 Mar Our Contribution To Help Fight Conflict Diamonds

Diamonds can be used for so many things. Often, they are used to show love, express style, and even flaunt wealth. However, have you ever put any thought into where exactly these precious stones come from?

We all know that they are mined from deep in the Earth, but in some cases, diamonds can arise from a dark origin. Believe it or not, in some countries, diamond mining is actually used as a source of funds for horrible things such as terrorism, civil wars, and even uprisings against the government. These types of diamonds are known as conflict diamonds or blood diamonds.

These tainted stones were being passed around in mass numbers a short time ago. Needless to say, this was causing many issues for everyone involved including the sellers, the purchasers, and even more so for the countries where the conflict diamonds came from.

Sadly, despite the efforts of many to make this form of diamond mining a thing of the past, there are still some of these stones in circulation today. Lives are being lost over these diamonds and countries are being left in shambles.

Wearing jewelry always comes at a cost. However, the cost should never be the lives of innocent people that are just trying to make a living like you and me.

The time to stop this widespread violence is now and we can all do our part to make a difference. You may be wondering how anyone could have the power to put an end to such a large issue. Well, it all comes down to diamond vendors and purchasers looking for a special certification before making any sales or purchases.

GIA is a certification process that not only measures the grade, clarity, and quality of a diamond but also ensures that diamonds in today’s market are conflict-free by revealing their origin. Many organizations have jumped on board with this world-changing certification process including multiple governments and even The World Diamond Council.

The Sultan is also on board with GIA. We want to ensure that all the diamonds used in our custom jewelry are 100% conflict-free. This ensures that our customers will never have to worry about someone else’s blood literally being on their hands. Our mission is to provide luxurious custom-made jewelry to the Mississauga area with integrity and we also want our customers to be able to wear their pieces with pride rather than shame.

It has been revealed in recent reports that the efforts of GIA are already making a huge difference. The number of conflict diamonds in circulation have dropped drastically. However, there are still some that manage to find their way into the hands of non-reputable vendors. This is never the case with The Sultan!

We would love to see the day that this number drops all the way to zero. In order to make this happen, we need your help. Don’t roll the dice by purchasing from a non-GIA certified vendor. Instead, go with a trustworthy company that always puts more value on life than money.

Working together, we can all do our part to eliminate the atrocious circulation of conflict diamonds and make the world better for everyone that shares it, especially the countries being ravaged by the awful trade of these tainted stones.
