Official Statement on Conflict Diamonds
The LP Watch Group has taken serious steps to ensure that all diamonds used in its watches, come from conflict free sources.
Our suppliers have assured us that all diamonds supplied to the LP Watch Group are exclusively from areas that are conflict free.
The diamond industry has established the Kimberley Process to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds.
Today, well over 99% of the world's diamond supply is certified to be from sources that are free from conflict. The LP Watch Group is proud to be among the companies that support the Kimberley Process, System of Warranties, and the US Clean Diamond Trade Act of 2003.
Under the Kimberley Process, each shipment of rough diamonds being exported and crossing an international border is required to be transported in a tamper resistant container. This is accompanied by a government-validated Kimberley Process Certificate assuring the diamonds are certified to be from sources free from conflict. Each certificate must be resistant to forgery, uniquely numbered and include data describing the shipment's content. The shipment can only be exported to a co-participant country in the Kimberley Process. No uncertified shipments of rough diamonds will be permitted to enter a participant's country.
The diamond industry also adopted a System of Warranties. Under this system, which has been endorsed by all Kimberley Process participants, every buyer and seller of polished diamonds and jewelry containing diamonds must make the following assurance statement on all invoices:
"The diamonds herein invoiced have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations resolutions. The seller hereby guarantees that these diamonds are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and/ or written guarantees provided by the supplier of these diamonds."
