Conflict-Free Diamonds: Buy with Confidence
CH Premier Jewelers Supports
Zero-Tolerance Policy Towards Conflict Diamonds
In light of the growing awareness and concern regarding conflict diamonds, CH Premier Jewelers strongly reassures its customers that we only deal with diamond dealers, fine jewelry manufacturers, and watch brands that are 100 percent compliant with all United Nations resolutions, the Kimberley Process and Patriot Act.
As gleaned and quoted from www.diamondfacts.org:
Conflict diamonds are diamonds illegally traded to fund conflict in war-torn areas, particularly in central and western Africa. The United Nations (UN) defines conflict diamonds as "...diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and are used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council." These diamonds are sometimes referred to as "blood diamonds."
By 2003 the international community through the participants in the Kimberley Process, bringing together industry, governments and civil society, mobilized governments to ban trade in rough diamonds funding African conflicts.
CH Premier Jewelers fully supports and endorses the protections set forth against blood diamonds and for the protection of governments and civil liberties.
Please feel free to approach your sales associate or any member of our team should you have any questions or concerns about the source of a diamond purchased at the store!
We encourage you to visit www.diamondfacts.org, hosted by the World Diamond Council, to learn more about conflict diamonds.
Part of our promise to bring customers only “The Ultimate in Luxury” includes your peace of mind regarding the source of diamonds carried by CH Premier Jewelers.
