Conflict-free is another important focus
of family-owned Padis Jewelry, and are fully dedicated to supporting socially
and environmentally responsible sourcing. We only buy and sell diamonds from carefully
selected suppliers who adhere to strict labor and environmental standards and are
able to demonstrate a complete chain of custody for their gemstones.
For example, one of our collections of
loose diamonds and diamond jewelry is from an industry leader in responsible
sourcing. Forevermark™, part of the De
Beers Group of Companies, not only sells some of the world’s most exquisite
diamonds but is committed to selling diamonds that have been responsibly
sourced throughout their entire journey.
In fact Forevermark sourcing standards
go beyond the international certification established in 2003 by the Kimberley
Process. This certification process was
designed to “stop the trade in ‘conflict diamonds' and ensure that diamond
purchases were not financing violence by rebel movements and their allies
seeking to undermine legitimate governments.”
Forevermark’s stricter standards include looking at the individual mines
and mining companies along with the country of origin in terms of human rights,
the political climate and the socio-economic situation.
Another
significant outreach by Forevermark has been to give back to the women and
children of each community they do business in.
These activities include supporting women in small businesses as well as
providing education, training, and healthcare.
The De Beers Group of Companies has also set aside 444,490 acres around
their mines for conservation which includes a Game Park and a Rhino sanctuary.We are proud to offer our customers
diamonds from a company that is committed to not only supplying the world with the most beautiful diamonds, but doing it with
integrity. Please visit our showrooms to
see our large selection of certified loose diamonds and diamond jewelry and
wear your jewelry with pride!
Padis Jewelry, a family-owned
business, has been a trusted source for buying exquisite certified loose
diamonds, engagement rings and fine jewelry since 1974. We are one of the only jewelers in the area that
