Conflict diamonds are all the diamonds that originate from any area controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally known governments.

These diamonds are used to fund military actions and wars.
Many children end up as victims in a bloody war over Diamonds, which are then sold onto the Black Markets of the world.

The last thing anyone wants to think about when making an important Diamond purchase (as they all are) is to know that their diamond had possibly helped aid such a cruel and brutal act of violence.
Legislation are now being passed in North America which will require all the Diamonds being sold to, be verified as conflict-free diamonds.
