Canadian Diamonds

Canadian diamonds is a phrase most people have never heard. When most people think of diamonds, they think of African diamonds, not Canadian diamonds. Thats because the vast majority of diamonds on the market today, especially those sold in New York jewelry stores, come from Africa. They come from places like Sierra Leone, while Canadian diamonds, as you probably guessed, come from Canada. What is the difference between Canadian diamonds and diamonds from Sierra Leone? Well, much of the difference comes from the difference between Canada and Sierra Leone. The two countries are very different, and so are Canadian diamonds.
Canadian diamonds, as weve already mentioned, come from Canada, not Sierra Leone. If youve ever been to Canada, its a pretty nice place. Canadian diamonds come from a country that has had a stable democracy in place for several hundred years, and there arent a whole lot of child soldiers roaming around. Sierra Leone, while it is a beautiful country, has had several decades of bloody civil war fueled in large part by the diamond trade. Canadian diamonds are mined by mining companies. Diamonds in Sierra Leone are often mined by angry militants with a cash flow problem and a grudge. They may look innocent enough, sitting in the display case in New York, but these diamonds are often mined by forced labor, and the profits go to rebel groups. That means that if you don't buy Canadian diamonds, you could be supporting organizations that you would rather not. When you buy a diamond, in most cases, you dont know where that diamond has come from. Except, that is, when you buy Canadian diamonds.
Tundra diamonds is another name for stones mined in the frozen tundra of Canada. They are mined by reputable operations, cut, polished and catalogued on site. Every tundra diamond has a paper trail leading from the New York jeweler, all the way back into the hard ground of the great northern wilderness. That means that when you buy a tundra diamond, you know that the proceeds arent going to a crazy rebel army that hacks off peoples legs, theyre going to nice friendly Canadians. Tundra diamonds are also some of the most beautiful in the world. The advanced technology used to mine and cut tundra diamonds means that they are among the highest quality diamonds available in New York or anywhere else. Many tundra diamonds have a 0 AGS diamond rating, meaning that they are nearly flawless. When you buy tundra diamonds, not only do you ensure that you get a fantastic stone, you also make sure that you are not supporting dangerous regimes, or even terrorism. Do the right thing and buy only certified tundra diamonds.
