Our Conflict-Free Diamond Policy

Jeanco Jewellers has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds. Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from mine to market, the industry in partnership with the United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds. At Jeanco Jewellers, we only purchase diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers who, like us, adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley Process.

All Jeanco diamonds are warranted to be conflict free. If one of our suppliers was ever found to be in violation of that process, we would immediately end that relationship. We will continue to support and promote any process that works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond trade. Diamonds are mined throughout the world, including major mines in Australia, Africa, Russia and Canada. Diamonds are a major source of good in many African nations, employing and providing healthcare to thousands. For more information on this issue, please visit diamondfacts.org.

About the Kimberley Process

Jeanco Jewellers supports the Kimberley process, which is an International process to track and certify diamonds.

Concerning Zimbabwe Diamonds

Jeanco Jewellers is committed to ensuring that the highest ethical standards are observed when sourcing our diamonds and jewellery. Because of human rights abuses in Zimbabwe's Marange diamond district, Jeanco Jewellers will not purchase or offer diamonds from that area. As a responsible member of the diamond and jewellery industry, we are working with our suppliers to ensure our consumers receive only the finest goods procured from ethical sources.

Our Position on Responsible Mining

Across our business, Jeanco Jewellers observes the highest ethical standards. We insist our business partners do the same. This extends to our gold sourcing. The issue of responsible mining is an important one and deserves our attention. 

We will:

  • Work to ensure that our gold and metals come from suppliers that meet the highest human rights, social, and environmental criteria.
  • Engage suppliers to influence the sourcing of gold products.
  • Research mining, refinement, and manufacturing practices of gold that moves through the supply chain.
  • Give preference to suppliers that source gold from mines that observe high standards of environmental stewardship.
  • In concert with our suppliers, commit to increased gold sourcing from recycled and secondary sources.
  • Measure and establish benchmarks with a goal of continuous improvement.

Jeanco Jewellers views its policy on responsible mining as an evolving standard. They commit to continuously reviewing their position with the goal of expanding it over time to have the broadest possible impact.
