Our operations of retail sales of diamond jewelry is our primary business. While the diamond industry has in the past been associated with conflict and exploitation, the industry has taken a number of pro-active steps in the form of the Kimberley process. (this process certifies that the diamonds originate from conflict free zones) We have always acted in an ethical and responsible way in all our business practices. We do not tolerate slavery, servitude, forced or compulsory labor or human trafficking either within our business or within our supply chains.

We expect all members of our supply chain to share the same values and adhere to the same best practice guidelines to ensure that no such forced labor exists within their business or their own supply chains.Though our diamond procurement process, by not being sightholders but purchase and aquire from sightholders, we are conscious that with an extensive supply chain like ours that has a wide geographical reach, more can always be done.

And whilst we would never knowingly engage with a supplier involved in forced labor, we recognize that such a supplier would take steps to conceal the true position, meaning that continued vigilance is always necessary. This Code of Conduct rejects the use of forced labor. We expect our suppliers to comply with the Code of Conduct and to place similar expectations on their supply chains.

If we identify or suspect non-compliance with the Code of Conduct we will work with the relevant supplier to ensure that immediate remedial action is taken to address the situation, failing to rectify the situation, will make us stop working with that particular supplier in question.

Our commitment is to ensure that there is no forced labor within our supply chains is an ongoing process. Our future plans include further doing our due diligence procedures, both when we engage a new supplier and on an ongoing basis in respect of our existing suppliers.
