Scottsdale, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2013 -- Over the last several decades, the stigma of “conflict diamonds,” diamonds whose sales directly fund the war efforts of local insurgencies or warlords, has heavily marred the diamond industry’s presence in Africa, where 65% of the industry’s raw product is extracted. In 2002, the United Nations General Assembly, along with various social organizations and the diamond industry, formally announced the creation of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, a series of requirements and requisites installed to help regulate and repress these illicit transactions. Nearly a decade later, the Kimberley Process is still the premier conflict diamond regulation procedure, and its guidelines and processes are strictly adhered to by the Diamond Vault, a Scottsdale wholesale jewelry retailer whose staff is dedicated to providing customers high-quality wholesale diamonds with the conflict-free assurance.

The Kimberley Process is currently enforced by over 80 countries and has managed to reduce the number of conflict diamonds transactions to a miniscule fraction of the international diamond trade. Its strict procedures require in-depth shipment certification standards and advocates transparency amongst its many enforcers. It is universally recognized in the diamond industry that shipments stamped with a Kimberley Process certificate of authenticity are legitimate and possess no affiliation with the conflict diamond trade.

The Diamond Vault prides itself on importing and selling a wide variety of conflict-free diamonds to its consumers. Regardless of the cut, clarity, carat, or color, consumers can be reassured to know each Diamond Vault diamond has passed the Kimberly Process certification and is conflict-free.
