ORIGINAL: Wildfleurs .... I don't think there is any way to guarantee that diamonds are conflict free, and the only way to end the diamond mining practices in Africa is to simply stop buying the products. C~ If you are seeking to buy African diamonds ... I would agree. However, the Canadian Diamond minds in the Northwestern Territories are a bit different in my opinion. http://www.canadianarcticdiamond.com/02_Certification/certification.html For me, its a ban on all diamonds (I also believe they are overpriced stones) - because I believe that the whole marketing of diamonds = love fuels *all* sales and buying any helps encourage the market by heightening demand in general. C~ who is staying away from the issue of which diamond is better in quality, tho I do tend to agree with Emperor1956
