I would like to assure all of our customers
that our diamonds are conflict free - and in full compliance with
the international
laws and human rights warranties.
With the help of Hearts On Fire
we have joined the Untied Nations, all diamond producing countries,
and non-governmental organizations
in adopting an international agreement known as the Kimberley Process
(KP) to prevent all traffic in conflict diamonds.
Today, over 99%
of the world's rough diamonds are documented with Certificates
of Origin to ensure that they come from conflict free
sources.
In order to curb any potential for illicit trade in diamonds
passing through troubled areas, a System of Warranties (SoW) further
ensures
that KP diamonds cannot be tampered with during transit. A written
statement must accompany diamonds and diamond jewelry, to guarantee
they are from legitimate sources.
Licata Jewelers is proud to endorse
and fully comply with all the requirements of the Kimberley Process
(KP) and the System of
Warranties (SoW). All invoices issued to our company attest to
the legitimate sources of all of our diamonds.
You have my personal
assurance that diamonds purchased at Licata Jewelers are in compliance
with the Kimberly Process, the System
of Warranties and the United States Clean Diamond Act.
Joseph Licata
Jewelers, with the help of Hearts On Fire, will continue to maintain
the highest level of integrity in support
of the legal and humanitarian processes that have been implemented
to put an end to any and all trading of conflict diamonds.
Sincerely,
Joseph Licata
Nicholas Licata
