But sadly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/black-diamonds\/\">diamonds<\/a> are also one of the most environmentally damaging products on the market. And this is thanks to mining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mining ruins lands and communities, often without payment to those the mining companies drive out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-light-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/diamonds\/\">Shop Ethical Diamonds <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and Conflict Free Stones <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several certifications exist for diamonds that meet certain standards of ethical sourcing. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) is one of the most widely in-use certifications. It requires all parties in the diamond trade to disclose their supply chain, including countries where their diamonds come from. The KPCS also requires the tracking of all diamonds throughout their journey. This allows us to trace diamonds back to their source country if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common certification includes &#8220;fair trade&#8221; practices. This certification ensures that mining companies pay workers fair wages. It also ensures workers safe working conditions while they produce these beautiful jewels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Are Natural Diamonds Sourced?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Kimberly-Mine-1200x630-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Kimberley Diamond Mine.

They are also far-reaching within the diamond industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in the process is finding a diamond deposit. This involves one of two main methods. Method 1 is prospecting, which involves searching for diamonds in certain areas. Method 2 is diamond drilling, which involves using drills to dig through layers of rock until you find a deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a deposit appears, it&#8217;s time to start digging. Rough diamonds form under huge amounts of pressure\u2014sometimes thousands of tons per square inch. Thanks to this pressure, they are hard to extract from diamond mines. This is where diamond-mining equipment comes in handy. It allows miners to drill through layers of rock without disturbing the natural topography around them too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newly mined diamonds are processed before being sold on the market as engagement rings. Diamond cutters typically cut raw diamonds into smaller pieces. They use very fast-spinning saw blades made of tungsten carbide steel alloy particles. These smaller diamond pieces then receive a polish to make them smooth. Finally, diamond cutters shape them into the shining stones we know and love today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Natural Diamonds Bad for the Environment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Diamond-eternity-bands-with-white-flowers-1200x630-1-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Rings and Bands.

Diamonds have to be mined from the surface layers of the Earth (usually through open-pit mining). That process requires roughly 1,700 tons of earth for every carat of a natural diamond taken from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surface mining required to get at those diamonds contributes to deforestation, soil erosion, and ecosystem destruction. And then there&#8217;s all the carbon dioxide emitted by the machines used in mining operations. These factors make natural diamonds less sustainable than many other gemstones on the market today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Blood Diamonds?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blood diamonds, or conflict diamonds, are natural diamonds that come from conflict zones. The profits from their sale finance wars. The mining of blood diamonds also results in major human rights violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these conflict zones, forced laborers are often the ones who mine natural diamonds. These forced laborers face abuse, torture, and even death if they refuse to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The profits from blood diamonds go toward buying arms and equipment for rebel groups or militias. In turn, these rebel groups and militias use the arms and equipment against civilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8220;blood diamond&#8221; describes these kinds of stones because of their connection to so much violence and suffering. People started using the term around 1999. Around this time it became clear that rebel groups were using diamond sales to finance their activities in places like Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to certificates like the Kimberly Process, transparency regarding the source of natural diamonds is increasing. However, experts estimate that around 5-10% of the world&#8217;s diamonds are still illegal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Ethically Sourced Diamonds and Conflict-Free Diamonds the Same?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/loosediamondsonwhite-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Loose lab grown diamonds.

Ethical diamonds ensure the mining process results in minimal damage to the environment. It also ensures the mining process is in harmony with local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Recycled Diamonds? Are They Ethical?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A diamond is thought to be recycled when it has been cut, polished, then put back into the market. Recycled stones are great for people who want to help the Earth. They are also good for people who want to make sure they are getting a high-quality product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as with other mined diamonds, you can&#8217;t be sure your diamond ring isn&#8217;t a blood diamond. So if you&#8217;re looking for a 100% ethical ring a recycled stone may not be your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Lab Created Diamonds Ethical Diamonds?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanorigin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Woman-Wearing-Diamond-Studs-1200x630-2-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"Lab diamonds are 100% conflict free.
