The Kimberly Process is a joint government, industry and civil society initiative to stem the flow of “conflict diamonds” - rough diamonds used by rebel movements to finance wars against legitimate governments -.

We have many certified diamonds of all shapes and sizes. Diamond certification began in 1970. It deeply changed the uses of diamond trading. Each diamond has its own characteristics that can be identified. A certificate mentions all of them, just like an ID card.

The different recognized laboratories are: The G.I.A (Gemmological Institute of America), The HRD (Hoge Raad voor Diamant), The EGL (European Gemmological Laboratory) and the IGI (International Gemmological Institute).
