Diamond Sourcing Policy

Journey

Conflict free diamonds are those that have been sourced and acquired in a way that is respectful of human rights. Through legislation, lengthy processes and transparency in the supply chain, we are helping to successfully stop the flow of conflict diamonds, which are used by rebel movements to finance war and terrorism.

We implement very detailed policies to ensure transparency with all our suppliers when it comes to diamond sourcing. This includes all diamonds whether they are loose, rough or polished, as well as diamonds set into finished jewellery.

Our Due Diligence

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure responsible diamond sourcing, we adhere to a five-step guidance process to ensure due diligence is practiced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

The steps include establishing strong company management systems, identifying risks in the supply chain, implementing strategies to respond to the risks, supporting third-party audits and reporting annually on supply chain due diligence.

Natural Diamond Assurance

We distinguish between natural diamonds and laboratory grown diamonds using special detection equipment and verification instruments under the ASSURE standard. This gives our customers complete peace of mind and confidence when buying from us.

Our Diamond Warranty

All rough and polished diamonds bought or sold by Desire Jewels Ltd include the System of Warranties statement developed by the International Diamond Manufacturers Association, the World Federation of Diamond Bourses and the WDC:

“Any natural diamonds herein supplied have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations Resolutions and corresponding national laws. The seller hereby guarantees that these natural diamonds are conflict-free and confirms adherence to the WDC SOW Guidelines.”
