In 2003, an international certification scheme called the Kimberley Process was launched, making it illegal to trade in conflict diamonds. A Kimberley Process certificate, guaranteeing diamonds as conflict-free, accompanies all official shipments of rough diamonds to and from participating countries.
All of Parchment Jewellers’ suppliers are part of this process and all of our invoices include a written guarantee that states they are conflict-free. The owner’s family has been providing this guarantee on all their diamond jewellery since the 1970s: thirty years before the Kimberley Process.
