A conflict diamond is considered “conflict” if its profit is used to fund war, or it is mined or produced under unethical conditions. Conflict diamonds are also referd to as "Blood Diamonds" specifically for the inhumaine treatment of the people mining the diamonds. At The Greener Diamond we define a conflict diamond in a broader scope that includes the protection of the environment.

1. Environment: The impact caused by the mining and production of earth-mined diamonds.

2. Ethical: The funding of civil war and terrorism as well as corruption and misleading advertising used to gain consumer confidence in a supposed “conflict-free” diamond market.

3. Economy:  An industry that is not justly equitable for diamond mining communities or a fair value for the consumers purchasing them.
