RESPONSIBLY SOURCED ROUGH DIAMONDS

Since ancient times, we – human beings – have loved and cherished diamonds. We love them for their beauty, their stories, and the symbolism we see in them. But our love for them cannot erase the fact that for many years, the diamond industry has been anything but ethical. And for that reason, at RoughDiamonds.dk we offer only carefully selected and responsibly sourced diamonds.

Read on to learn more about what we do to help cultivate a more transparent, sustainable, and responsibly sourced diamond jewellery industry.

Transparent. Traceable. Treasured.

At Rough Diamonds, we believe you should be able to love diamonds with a clear conscience. That’s why every rough diamond we work with is responsibly sourced — with full traceability, fair labor practices, and minimal environmental impact.

The diamond industry has long faced challenges around conflict financing, labor conditions, and transparency. We take these issues seriously and go beyond standard certifications to ensure our stones are as honest as they are beautiful.

You may have heard the term “blood diamonds,” also known as conflict diamonds. These are rough diamonds used to finance wars against governments.

In response, the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was created through a United Nations resolution in 2003 to help eliminate “blood diamonds” stones from the global supply chain.

All our diamonds comply with the Kimberley Process, which brings together governments, civil society, and the diamond industry to certify shipments of rough diamonds as responsibly sourced. But while the Kimberley Process has made important progress, it is not enough. It does not address broader issues like human rights, fair labour, or environmental impact — and it certifies batches, not individual stones — making it difficult to trace exactly where a diamond comes from.

That’s why we go beyond the Kimberley Process. Our supplier is a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council — the leading authority on ethical, social, and environmental standards in the global jewellery industry. This guarantees that every diamond we use is responsibly sourced, with care for people and the planet.

Each stone is uncut and unpolished — a raw expression of nature, craftsmanship, and conscious luxury.

We call them responsibly sourced rough diamonds. You’ll call them unforgettable.

“We have always loved diamonds. That love drives us to do better — to make sure every piece we create can be loved without question.”

— Maya Bjørnsten, Designer & Founder
