In addition to the natural beauty of Canadian loose diamonds, there are a number of important social benefits that come with buying pieces containing them. The majority of loose diamonds that are used in jewellery are mined in Africa. Some of these stones come from war-torn countries, with the sales of these stones financing war efforts or insurgencies. Canadian stones, on the other hand, are guaranteed to be mined using socially responsible methods in a country that respects human rights. The techniques that are used to gather these stones are also environmentally responsible. In many cases, Canadian loose diamonds can be traced back to the exact mine from which they were collected.
Responsible Activities for Collecting Canadian Loose Diamonds
Mining can leave a large footprint on the region, but these stones are gathered in such a way as to minimize it.
- Canadian companies were the first in the world to adopt environmental policies for collecting loose diamonds.
- Some of the companies are actively engaged in the communities in which they are located.
- The industry employs more than a thousand individuals in mining the stones, and thousands more in related industries in the supply chain, from exploration to retail dealers.
