At De Vere Diamonds, we believe that every natural diamond should be a force for positive change. That’s why we support Diamonds for Peace, a pioneering non-profit initiative working to transform the diamond industry into a more responsible, fair, and inclusive sector, starting from the source.

Mission and Vision

Diamonds for Peace is dedicated to building a just and sustainable diamond supply chain that benefits everyone involved, especially artisanal miners and their communities. Their mission is to ensure that the wealth created by natural diamonds contributes directly to the wellbeing of the people and places where they are mined.

They envision a world where:

• Artisanal diamond miners work in safe conditions and earn fair wages.

• Communities in diamond-producing regions benefit from education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

• Consumers can wear natural diamonds with pride, knowing their purchase supports human rights and development.

Core Activities

Diamonds for Peace works on the ground with local stakeholders in diamond-producing countries, particularly Liberia, focusing on these key areas:

1. Supporting Artisanal Miners

They provide training and tools to help artisanal and small-scale miners improve their techniques, reduce environmental impact, and increase productivity and income. This includes education in:

• Responsible mining practices

• Health and safety standards

• Environmental management

2. Building Transparent Supply Chains

Diamonds for Peace works to establish traceable and ethical sourcing systems that connect miners directly with responsible buyers. By cutting out exploitative middlemen, they help ensure that a greater share of the diamond’s value reaches the mining community.

3. Empowering Local Communities

Through collaboration with local NGOs and government bodies, they support social programs that deliver long-term benefits, such as:

• Literacy and financial education

• Gender equality initiatives

• Alternative livelihoods and vocational training

4. Advocacy and Global Awareness

Diamonds for Peace raises awareness within the global jewellery industry and among consumers about the realities facing artisanal diamond miners. They advocate for fairer policies, industry accountability, and consumer transparency, promoting a diamond trade that uplifts rather than exploits.

Why It Matters

Over a million people around the world depend on artisanal diamond mining for their livelihoods. Yet, many of these miners work under harsh conditions with little reward. Diamonds for Peace plays a vital role in changing this reality, proving that the beauty of a diamond should never come at the cost of human dignity or environmental harm.

At De Vere Diamonds, we proudly align with this vision. We are committed to promoting natural diamonds that are not only exquisite in beauty but also in the good they do. By supporting initiatives like Diamonds for Peace, we help ensure that every diamond tells a story of progress, fairness, and hope.
