"The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost." M. Scott Peck

A diamond is considered “conflict” if its profit is used to fund war, or it is mined or produced under unethical conditions. At The Greener Diamond we define a conflict diamond as any diamond that is unsustainable, thereby contributing to a negative impact in any or all of the following ways;

Environment: The mining and production of earth-mined diamonds.

Ethical: Diamond mining communities held captive to a life of poverty and violence through their dependency on the diamond trade and consumers who unknowingly contribute to the power and proliferance of conflict diamonds and are subjected to exorbitant prices as a result of illegal price fixing.

Economy: A monopolized industry with a supply chain that is neither fairly equitable to the communities purveying earth-mined diamonds or to the consumers purchasing them.
