Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process is a United Nations mandated system designed to prevent conflict diamonds from entering the legitimate diamond market. The entire diamond production chain is monitored from mine to retail purchase. Diamonds can only be imported and exported accompanied by a government issued certificate. All of Rare Investment diamonds are certified under the Kimberly Process.
The Kimberley Process is endorsed by the GIA and World Diamond Council. More than 70 nations participate. Today, 99% of diamonds are certified conflict-free through the Kimberley Process.
Diamonds sourced directly from mines, specifically Australia’s Argyle Mine, have their own certificate of origin and authenticity.
Gemological Institute of America
Established in 1931, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world’s foremost authority on diamonds, color stones, and pearls. GIA exists to protect all purchasers of gemstones by providing the laboratory services, research, instruments and education needed to accurately and objectively determine gemstone quality. All Rare Investment’s diamonds are GIA certified.
