Does It Matter Where Your Diamond Comes From? Will They Make You Truly Happy?

Diamonds have long been a symbol of love, celebration, and luxury. Their brilliance has captivated us for centuries, a coveted addition to any jewelry collection. However, in recent years, the conversation around diamonds has shifted. Consumers are no longer solely concerned with the sparkle; they started to ask, “Where does my diamond come from?”

Blood diamond is defined by the United Nations (UN) as any diamond that is mined in areas controlled by forces opposed to the legitimate, internationally recognised government of a country and that is sold to fund military action against that government. On top of these, some diamonds are manufactured in an exploitative working environment.

 

Responsible Luxuries

These global moral concerns made responsible jewelry enthusiasts look after not just luxury but sustainability also.

Fortunately, more and more diamond-manufacturing companies have prioritised ethical sourcing.

For Hari Krishna Exports, an industry leader not only in diamond but also in sustainability and social responsibility, this is a decades-long advocacy. They call the concept “Heartful Diamonds”.

 

What Makes a Diamond Heartful?

A Heartful Diamond goes beyond the 4 traditional measures: cut, color, clarity, and carat. Its 5th C signifies commitment – solid commitment not only to ethical sourcing, fair labor practices, and social responsibility throughout the diamond’s journey.

So what makes a diamond truly “heartful”?

♦Conflict-Free Origins: Heartful Diamonds come from certified mines, ensuring they don’t fuel violence or human rights abuses. HK works tirelessly to ensure every diamond they source adheres to the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme, a global initiative that prevents conflict diamonds from entering the market.

♦Empowering People: Heartful Diamonds are mined and crafted by individuals treated with dignity and fairly compensated. HK only holds ties with mines that uphold fair labor practices, ensuring miners work in safe conditions and receive decent living wages. This not only benefits the workers but also fosters thriving communities around the mines.

♦ Sustainable Practices: Heartful Diamonds prioritises responsible mining methods that minimise environmental impact. HK is constantly innovating to reduce its environmental footprint, utilising renewable energy sources and implementing sustainable practices throughout its operations.

 

Making a Meaningful Choice:

The brilliance of a diamond is undeniable. But shouldn’t the story behind it bring you just as much joy and pride? Choosing a Heartful Diamond from Hari Krishna Exports allows you to wear your values alongside beauty. It’s a responsible decision that reflects your support to ethical practices and positive social impact.
