Seattle, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2016 -- For those who want to buy ethically made and Canadamark-certified diamond jewelry, the good news is that Bashford Jewelry, created in 2013 by Mildred, is offering such diamond jewelry. Bashford Jewelry says since the CanadaMark hallmark program provides independent verification and establishes that the diamonds they use are of Canadian origin, customers can buy the jewelry offered by them without any qualms.

Every CanadaMark diamond is responsibly mined in Canada's Northwest Territories, is natural and untreated, tracked through audited processes at every stage right from the country of origin till the stone is polished to meet specific quality standards.

Further, Bashford Jewelry ensures that the diamonds they use are produced with integrity. The Ekati and Diavik mines have been carefully designed after having extensive consultations with Aboriginal communities so the wildlife in the Lac de Gras area is fully protected. The mines also have a history of developing technologies and using only those processes that will conserve the environment.

The company says they are committed to protecting the environment and so, they have made the mines signatories to environmental agreements involving local Aboriginal groups as well as the federal and territorial governments.

Supporting local business is also a top priority for the mines because they recognize the fact that a thriving northern economy benefits both company and employees.

CanadaMark diamonds can only be cut and polished by approved manufacturers. Each manufacturer is audited by an independent third party to fully track the progress of a Canadian diamond, right from the mine of origin till it is made into a polished diamond.

Every CanadaMark diamond is given a certificate card. Before this is issued, the manufacturer must provide detailed evidence to prove the origin of the diamond, its technical characteristics, and movement through its tracking systems.

Once a diamond has been accepted into the CanadaMark program, it is laser-inscribed with the CanadaMark logo and a unique serial number. This number is recorded on a certificate card, that accompanies the diamond during the rest of its journey. The serial number and stone weights are also entered in the CanadaMark database.

Bashford Jewelry urges its customers to use their verification tool to confirm the authenticity of the CanadaMark diamond they wish to purchase. If customers are able to see the CanadaMark logo inscribed on a diamond, they can be sure that it is completely natural. Bashford Jewelry points out that CanadaMark diamonds are not permitted to be treated by lasers to lighten dark inclusions, fracture-filled to mask inclusions, or subjected to high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) treatments.

Bashford emphatically says that they are passionate about reducing the impact of environmentally harmful practices in jewelry creation and are committed to deliver ethically made, luxury brand and elegant products to their customers. At the same time, they ensure to create a sustainable, rewarding and positive impact on all those affected by its production.
