The boring documents that make a parcel legitimate.
If you buy diamonds professionally, your own compliance file is only as good as your supplier's paperwork. Here is exactly what travels with our goods and what we keep on file.
Kimberley Process
All rough entering our floor arrives under Kimberley Process certification, and the certification travels with the parcel. This is the mechanism that keeps conflict diamonds out of the legitimate trade, and it only works if every link actually checks rather than assumes.
The System of Warranties
Every invoice we issue carries the industry warranty statement confirming the goods were purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict, in compliance with United Nations resolutions. You can file our invoice directly as evidence in your own chain.
Anti-money-laundering
We run know-your-customer checks when opening a new trading relationship — company registration, beneficial ownership and a verified bank account. We do not settle above statutory cash limits, and we will decline a transaction rather than structure it.
Records
Parcel-level records — rough lot, job number, sortment, weight, piece count, buyer — are retained for five years. If you need documentation for an audit, ask and we will produce it for the parcels you bought.
Sanctions
We monitor applicable sanctions regimes affecting rough diamond origin and will not supply goods we cannot evidence the origin of. Where a customer's market imposes stricter origin documentation than the Kimberley Process baseline, tell us at the quotation stage so we can confirm whether we can meet it before you commit.
Questions about how we operate?
We answer supplier-audit questions in writing, from a named person, usually within a working day.
