More diamond information

I did some further investigating about cruelty free jewelry. I sent out this email to a couple different companies:

I was recently telling a friend of mine that a way to ensure quality jewelry guaranteed to be cruelty free was to purchase from Canada.

We are curious if you could inform us of the practices of your company. We know that Canada has admirable diamond laws. How do the rest of the gemstones fair?

Thanks for answering our nosy questions. We both are concerned about the jewelry we wear and want to research this as much as possible! I am sure you understand the idea of having "happy" jewelry.

Thanks again,

Mary

I received an awesome, quick response from this company:

Good Morning Mary,

Yes, you can truly say that Canada makes “happy” jewelry!

Our labor laws and humanity regulations are stronger and more regularly enforced
than many other countries around the world.  The practices of our company hold true
to that statement.  We employ a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and only the
most meticulous, talented craftsmen in the industry.  The jewelry industry puts
measures in place to protect consumers from illicit materials and we as a part
of our mission statement hold true to those laws and expectations. 

All gemstones as well as the diamonds we use are purchased through trusted sources
and are guaranteed to be conflict free.

Consumers today who ask questions to better understand what they are supporting
are not being nosy – they are doing their part to maintain honesty and integrity
within the industries they acquire merchandise from.

Our collections are not only “happy” they are blissful

Seasons Greetings,

Tyler

There you have it.

If your girl must have a diamond, do the world a favor and buy Canadian!
