What are conflict diamonds and what’s wrong about them?
Conflict diamonds (some refer to them as blood diamonds) are real diamonds that are sourced from
regions that are controlled by groups that are wrongly defiant to legitimacy and governments.
Precious stones mined in these districts are sold to fund armed activity against those legislatures.
More often than not, stone miners working in such zones of conflicts are subjected to serious human
rights infringement and manhandle. After these diamonds are carried into the market, their source
point is very hard to track, which has made the destruction of contention precious stones a
noteworthy worldwide issue. At Perrian we take this issue very seriously and always ensure that all
of our jewelry products are made from ethically sourced diamonds.

A merciless civil war in Sierra Leone that has been prevalent since past 10 years denoted the
beginning of a unified worldwide awareness with respect to conflict-free in the mid-1990s. The
Revolutionary United Front (RUF) seized innumerable mines of diamonds, controlled the production
of diamonds, and utilized the money from the illegal sale of these diamonds to fund terrorism which
resulted in huge human rights violations. The problems faced by Sierra Leone regarding conflict-free
diamonds started a worldwide outrage and amidst all that the illicit production and sale of precious
stones had been used to fund equipped clash in Angola, Liberia, The Ivory Coast, The Republic of
Congo and The Democratic Republic of Congo. By the mid-1990s, it ended up plainly obvious to the
universal group that the time had come to try to wipe out every ill-conceived practice in precious
stone exchange.
