Edidiong Uwemakpan+Canadian Diamonds+About

Diamonds that are labeled as Canadian diamonds are guaranteed to be conflict free in that they originate in a country of peace where there is no armed conflict. Most diamonds mined in Canada are shipped to India and Africa for cutting and polishing. Only those with the added certification of being from the Northwest Territories are cut and polished in-country. Of the five diamond mines in Canada, only 1 is majority owned by a Canadian company.
