I am removing the brand new marriage ring for my tenth anniversaty. Need to know how to get conflict-free diamonds or alternative gems. If we can not ,I will be removing simulants. we can not assimilate how people can still buy diamonds as well as alternative gems but checking. we hatred the suspicion of people failing only so we can have the flattering stone upon my finger. we theory the little hold which the cost they compensate for the flattering stone is compariable to the tellurian life. SO, we am off of my soap box now. Sorry.Can any one discuss it me where to find this information?

because of how unpredictable the diamond business is, even if they say they are conflict free, you still can’t really know because the diamonds are exchanged internationally… so you never quite know where they came from. One business, however, I know is conflict free and has been since 2000, before the kimberley process was required in 2003.. They have some beautiful rings also. They also have live-chat help if you want more info.
I have also seen some gorgeous pearl rings that I almost prefer over diamonds.

Your choices are glass or Moissanite, or some other artificial stone. Any other gemstone may have conflict in its history.
Even if your gemstone is free of conflict, the gold of the setting probably has sweat, blood, tears in its history.
Forget the jewelry. Buy something practical.

So what are you going to mount it on. Gold that is not blood gold. Every jewel, Gold trinket, and bobble is probably tainted with blood, sweat, and tears. So I guess you should ask for a refrigerater instead. Oh sorry that was made by Prisoners in China. How about a nice pair of shoes? wait those were made by enslaved children in India. How about a nice dress? Wait they were made by women in Indonesia that work for 5cents a piece. OK ok, How about going out to eat? Wait that is prepaired by illegal Mexicans making 3 bucks an hour. Well Iguess your just SOL.
