Tissot PR50 Steel Chronograph Silver Mens Watch T34.1.488.32 Arvind Ganesan also appeals

Tissot PR50 Steel Chronograph Silver Mens Watch T34.1.488.32In the letter, Arvind Ganesan also appeals to the powerful members of the diamond industry to use their influence on the Kimberley Process to ensure that Zimbabwe is fully suspended from the group up to the point when they actually meet basic human rights standards. As per reports from HRW, such human rights infringements as killing, smuggling, and child labor have been going on until just this October and there are no signs of any considerable changes since then. These diamonds have been smuggled to neighboring countries mixing with diamonds from other nations and basically causing a situation where conflict diamonds are traded worldwide.Hence, it is up to the jewelry retailers to be responsible enough to make sure that they do not vend such conflict diamonds to their jewelry consumers. As diamond consumers are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about conflict diamonds and requesting certifications as to the origin of their diamonds, it was only a matter of time before Zimbabwean diamonds became too risky to be associated with.The problem is that generally speaking Tissot PR50 Steel Chronograph Silver Mens Watch T34.1.488.32, jewelry providers cant just boycott their diamond jewelry items, but then again, nobody wants to be linked to conflict diamonds either. It looks like well just have to wait and see how the major members of the diamond jewelry community intend to comply with the demands of the Human Rights Watch.Fred Pollard has a long experience in the diamond industry and he currently advises companies about Diamond Prices.

Apparently Zimbabwe plan to sell off the conflict diamonds from their Marange diamond fields is simply not going to come through as long as the HRW (Human Rights Watch) has any say in the matter. The HRW specifically instructed the leading diamond jewelry providers in the world to keep their distance from any diamonds from Zimbabwe. Specifically, Arvind Ganesan, Director of the Business & Human Rights Division at HRW, released an official warning regarding a full on embargo of Zimbabwe diamonds due to their many violations of serious human rights conditions. According to Arvind Ganesan, Zimbabwean diamonds are conflict diamonds in every sense of the term, and as such the HRW is requesting that jewelry retailers and jewelry consumers boycott these diamonds until the human rights infringements reach their end. In fact, Arvind Ganesan wrote a letter asking as much from leaders in the diamond jewelry industry, such as Cartier, Tiffany, and Zale.Arvind Ganesan has turned to the Kimberley Tissot PR50 Steel Chronograph Silver Mens Watch T34.1.488.32 Process Certification Scheme as well as the World Diamond Council in an attempt to expand the current definition of blood diamonds to contain diamonds acquired by governments in conflict and not only diamonds by rebel groups. In his letter, the Director of the Human Rights Watch requested that major diamond jewelry retailers issue public statements regarding refusal to purchase Zimbabwean diamonds. Such acts on the parts of the major players in the diamond retail community will surely have some significant long-term effects on diamond production from the Murowa diamond mine, as well as the River Ranch diamond mine, which are thought to be channels for the sale of diamonds from the Marange fields in Zimbabwe Tissot PR50 Steel Chronograph Silver Mens Watch T34.1.488.32.

Tissot PR50 Mens Watch T34.1.588.32 common misconception regarding artificial

Tissot PR50 Mens Watch T34.1.588.32To clear up a common misconception regarding artificial diamonds, diamond substitutes like Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite are commonly sold in jewelry pieces and there nothing wrong about it, as long as the item description state that the ‘diamonds arent natural. Many people enjoy the fact they can buy diamond substitutes cheaply and only when vendors become dishonest a problem is created.So what is the actual difference between natural diamond and artificial ones, except for their origin? There are some small chemical differences between the two. The formation of nitrogen atoms within the diamond crystal isnt identical within the two forms. Some machinery has been constructed in order to distinguish an artificial diamond from a natural one. Such machines are based on the projection of Ultra Violet and Ultra Red lights, which demonstrated the different atom formation and allows gemologists to identify a natural diamond. Is there a more way for a consumer to know if a diamond laid before him is real simply by looking at it? There no problem when one enters a reputable jewelry store Tissot PR50 Mens Watch T34.1.588.32, but if a consumer wants to buy a diamond, in some small stand during a vacation in a small tropical island, is there no way to check whether a diamond is natural or not? Probably not, the differences between an artificial diamond which has been produced professionally and a natural diamond are very subtle, and a naked eye of someone who isnt well educated about diamonds would find it difficult to detect such differences. It seems that becoming a more responsible, and if possible a more educated, consumer is the best way for not falling into the fake diamonds consumer trap.Fred Pollard has a long experience in the diamond industry and he currently advises companies about Diamond Prices.

Fake diamonds are not a new threat which the diamond industry is facing, but they are still a main obstacle for novice diamond consumers who purchase diamonds from unfamiliar dealers. Many enterprises manufacture fake diamonds for the jewelry industry as well as for many other industry usages. A big percent of the fake diamonds sold in jewelry is recognized as artificial stones, and customers have the choice whether to purchase such ‘diamonds for a relatively low price, or go for natural diamonds which are obviously much more expensive. Big reputable jewelry stores are very unlikely to sell fake diamonds claiming they are real ones, but when purchasing diamonds in small stores a customer can find him or herself facing the risk of being ripped off by clever salespersons, selling fake diamonds for a price which is somewhere mid-range between the price of a real and a fake diamond.Generally speaking, the value of an artificial diamond is up to 9/10 less than a value of a natural diamond of the same characteristics (color, cut, proportions, clarity and size). The estimation of most experts is that about 2-3% of the natural diamond market is actually substituted by fake diamonds. Many factors prevent this problem from increasing and reaching a scale that could intensively threat the future realization of the global diamond market. Still, it a phenomenon many consumers come across Tissot PR50 Mens Watch T34.1.588.32, which can even promote suspicion and cause these customers to think twice before they commit to a new diamond purchase.A diamond grading report is a very important document, as many diamond consumers have already learned, that assists keeping fake diamonds from being recognized as real diamonds more often. Though before checking such report it is also advised that consumer try to buy diamonds only from reliable dealers (either online stores or Brick & Mortar dealers) which they have previously heard good things about. If this isnt possible for some reason, it is still important to insist on obtaining and reading the grading report of the diamond purchased. Once you are certain that the grading report matches your new diamond (a diamond appraiser could verify this for you) you can be certain that the diamond is 100% natural Tissot PR50 Mens Watch T34.1.588.32.
