Blood diamonds and conflict-free diamonds are terms you’ll often see when looking for a diamond jewelry piece. There are even movies about them, as the topic has been widely discussed over the last couple of decades. Yet there is still quite a bit of mystery, misunderstanding, and even controversy around blood diamonds. So, let’s go over blood diamonds and conflict-free diamonds, and how they impact the jewelry industry. What are blood diamonds? Blood diamond is a term referring to all diamonds for which you can say any of the following: 1. They have been mined in war-torn areas. 2. Slave labor or forced and inhumanely treated and underpaid labor has been used for their mining. 3. The profits made by the selling of these diamonds are used for funding war efforts or terrorist organizations.

Certified loose Natural Diamonds and Lab Diamonds in Houston

Oftentimes, we have customers ask us about diamond certification. Knowing what certification your diamond has is important, as it affects the value and quality. Well-known diamond institutions include GIA, EGL USA, AGS, and IGI, to name a few. What's the difference? The most common certifications one would come across while diamond shopping would be GIA and EGL USA. The GIA, Gemological Institute of America is considered the top gem research institute in the world.  Because they hold strict regulations with diamond grading, they have established global quality standards; therefore, they represent the true value of the diamond. The second best would be EGL USA, the European Gemological Laboratory, which classifies diamonds one grade higher than GIA. For instance, an EGL USA certified SI1 diamond would be considered a SI2 diamond by the GIA. An EGL USA certified diamond is a great option for those looking for a more affordable diamond. Keep in mind, every diamond is UNIQUE.
