Diamonds, when set in jewelry, are marketed as symbols of love, beauty and commitment. This is their final stop on a long journey that is often not so sparkling, as evidenced by the testimonies of Progress, Ibrahim and Héritier in this video. They were brave to share their stories, which are unfortunately far from unique. Tens of thousands of people who live where diamonds are mined, across the globe, continue to live with conflict today. For them, diamonds don’t represent love; they symbolize harm to their lives, livelihoods and communities. If we want these gems to be legitimate symbols of love, these problems need to be addressed.
