The uncompromising beauty of Canadian diamonds derives from their unique status -- Canadian diamonds are amongst the only diamonds in the world with a guaranteed pure history.

Read Brilliant Earth’s environmental and social assessment of Canadian diamond mining.

Canadian diamonds lay hidden beneath the pristine tundra of the Canadian Arctic, and remained undiscovered well into the last century. When Canadian diamonds were eventually discovered, special priority was placed on negotiating mutually beneficial agreements with local indigenous populations and respecting the Arctic environment. Brilliant Earth’s Canadian diamonds have remained wholly free from violence and human rights abuses.

Canadian diamonds are mined according to Canada's strict environmental laws - which are among the most rigorous in the world. These high standards protect caribou and other wildlife, water, and fish habitats. Brilliant Earth sources Canadian diamonds from mines that have integrated sustainable development into all of their practices. Currently, Brilliant Earth’s Canadian diamonds originate from two Canadian diamonds mines, the Diavik and the Ekati Diamond Mines, which both have demonstrated a strong commitment to the local Aboriginal people. The Diavik Canadian diamonds mine promotes sustainability through its environmental monitoring agreements and labor training programs with the Canadian Government and local indigenous tribal groups. A management plan governs the environmental stewardship of land and water at the Ekati Canadian diamonds Mine, which includes comprehensive tracking and response programs for wildlife and aquatics. Both mines are independently monitored and certified as ISO 14001 compliant for their environmental quality and control processes. De Beers does not own either the Diavik or the Ekati mine.
