Beyond Conflict-Free: The New Standard of Diamond Transparency & How We Embrace It
Transparency is knowing where our precious metals and gemstones come from and how our jewelry is made — and sharing that information with you, so you can feel good about the jewelry you're wearing.
For years, “conflict-free” was the most important term for couples who cared about the story behind their diamond. It was a crucial starting point, a promise that a gem wasn’t tied to the violence of civil wars. At Luminacraft, we celebrated this standard and built our collection upon it.
But our commitment to ethics never stops evolving. Today, we believe “conflict-free” is the absolute baseline—the foundation upon which we build a truly responsible and radiant legacy. The modern conscious consumer doesn’t just want a diamond without a bad history; they want one with a positively beautiful story.
Why “Conflict-Free” is Just the Beginning
The Kimberley Process, which certifies diamonds as conflict-free, was a vital first step. However, its scope is limited. A diamond can be technically "conflict-free" and still be connected to:
-
Human Rights Concerns: Poor working conditions, unfair wages, or child labor within legal mines.
-
Environmental Impact: Irresponsible mining that damages ecosystems and local water sources.
-
Lack of Community Benefit: Questions about whether mining wealth truly supports the local people.
We knew our customers deserved more. You deserve to feel confident that the symbol of your love also represents love for humanity and our planet.
