Diamond Mining Protocol

The Diamond Mining Protocol is a set of guidelines and standards designed to ensure that diamonds are sourced responsibly and ethically. It promotes practices that prevent conflict diamonds—rough stones used to fund violence—and emphasizes transparency throughout the supply chain. The protocol encourages miners, traders, and jewelers to verify the origins of diamonds, adhere to environmental regulations, and uphold fair labor practices. By following these standards, the protocol helps ensure that the diamonds consumers buy are ethically mined, promoting trust and sustainability in the industry.
