Conflict free diamonds are those diamonds that have been ethically sourced without any bloodshed. The way to make sure the diamonds are conflict free is to check and see if the retailer or wholesaler has a Kimberley Process certification. The process was set up "to ensure that diamond purchases were not financing violence by rebel movements and their allies seeking to undermine legitimate governments.” https://www.kimberleyprocess.com
