The answer will most likely be found in a Responsible Sourcing Policy, Code of Conduct, Sustainability Report or Conflict Minerals Report. If the company mentions the following third-party auditors which publish results, they receive a 'Yes': Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), or Responsible Jewelery Council (RJC)
