At K8 Jewelry, ethics and values are important to us. That is why we opt for natural diamonds that come with traceability documents. Consider this: Russia, the world's largest producer of diamonds, sends diamonds onto the international market with no country of origin paperwork. Its main producer Alrosa, is largely owned by the Russian government. Meanwhile, Botswana, the world's largest producer of jewellery quality diamonds, is a stable, democratic nation that relies on the diamond industry to fund its schools and public services. In fact, Botswana is part of diamond traceability systems such as Tracr and GIA SVS. Canada, the third-largest diamond producer in the world. When you choose a Canadian diamond, you know that your diamond was mined in accordance with the strictest environmental standards and fair labour practices.
