Provenance is paramount
The Diamond Trading Company has taken the lead in introducing Best Practice Principles to protect the consumer and ensure that all Sightholders abide by the highest professional, ethical, social, environmental and legal standards.

The provenance of every gemstone is paramount and our business is run in such a way that we will neither engage in, nor encourage in any manner the following practices:

We will never buy, or trade rough diamonds from areas where it would encourage or support conflict and human suffering. Neither will we intentionally or recklessly endanger, or harm the welfare of individuals, or exploit the use of child labour.

Transparent and fully traceable
Throughout the entire manufacturing cycle, every diamond is monitored by our unique tracking system. This allows the stone to be traced back to its origin to ensure that it is completely conflict-free. Furthermore, in order to establish traceability, we employ laser-engraving technology, which is invisible to the naked eye.

As an organisation we are fully accountable, undergoing stringent external audits twice a year. Our transparency and professionalism ensures that every single diamond that passes through our hands bears all the hallmarks of quality, accountability and provenance.
