As the name signifies, conflict or blood diamonds are those diamonds that are sold to fund illegal operations of rebel and terrorist groups.

History indicates that these diamonds are most commonly mined in war zones and areas of unrest. The sales are often conducted secretively and the money generated goes into funding the activities of unlawful groups. While the sales of these dirty diamonds or war diamonds is recorded to be less than 2%, and most nations engaged in trade of conflict diamonds have faced UN sanctions, there are still loopholes and much can be done to help customers take better decisions.

Certification systems are in place today and experts at Gemisimo provide comprehensive information on how to stop the trade of conflict diamonds.
