This issue is of very great concern to us and therefore we make every effort possible to avoid "conflict diamonds." We do our best to make sure every diamond we buy from our vendors can be traced to its legitimate source and that these items are not involved in funding conflict.

We demand that our vendors remain in compliance with UN resolutions and the Kimberley Process. Our vendors guarantee that the diamonds we buy are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantees provided by the supplier of these diamonds.

Organizations in our industry agreed in 2003 on a program of self-regulation to complement the Kimberley Process created by the governments of nations involved in the diamond trade. We at JR Dunn Jewelers, welcomed the introduction of this global system to combat the illicit traffic in conflict diamonds and our policy has been to support the industry's self-regulation program.
