Was your diamond mined by slaves?

I was shocked to learn that it is common practice in diamond mining countries to incorporate slavery and terrible working conditions for low wages, to get that diamond for your engagement ring.

This is just sad.

Was your sparkling diamond mined by child slaves in Sierra Leone?

Children work as slaves in the diamond mines near Koidu Town, the capital of the Kono district of the Republic of Sierra Leone (ironically, a former British colony which was established for freed West African slaves and which was once the base for the Anti-Slavery Squadron of the Royal Navy). There thousands of child slaves work without pay for the mine barons.

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Olara Otunnu, was stunned by the magnitude and scale of slavery which he saw in the diamond mines. "I was horrified by what I saw at the minefields", he said.

These diamonds are not "blood diamonds" and are readily exported to Antwerp and other locations where they are polished and make their way to your local department store or jeweler.

If your diamond is a cheaper diamond or gem, was it cut or polished by bonded children in India? Less expensive diamonds and gems are imported into India as rough stones, which are cut or polished by children. Much of the industry is based in the State of Gujarat.

Princess cut diamonds are famous for their square cut. The princess cut is the second most popular cut, after the round cut. Princess cut rings have been known to have more "fire" then all the other cuts.

Are princess cut diamonds more expensive than round diamonds for the same amount of carat?



They are going to be be roughly the same (No pun intended).

An uncut diamond is called a rough diamond. Either two princess cuts or two round brilliants may be cut from that shape. To get the fancy cuts such as marquise, emerald, trillion, radiant or pear you will need a different style of rough diamond, which is rarer, and more expensive.

And even more expensive cuts like Asscher, Hearts on Fire, Leo, Crisscross, Lily... etc you have to pay for the branding, rarity of rough and more loss. Usually you cut away more of the rough diamond for them.

End of day, for equal quality and carat weight of diamonds you will pay about equal for Princess and Rounds, with progressively more for the rarer cuts of diamond.
