Is it really worth it and do the online companies suggested on this forum sell canadian stones. thanks for the advice.

The thought never crossed my mind until I received my stone. My diamond arrived in a paper wrapper (is there a name for those?) that had a sticker with the cert summary, one with a Sarin summary, and a stamp of the Canadian flag. Is it safe to assume that it is a Candian diamond?

(this is just what I remember, we didn't acutally manage to find one) 1. if the stone was cut as well as mined in the NWT, then it will come with a certificate of authenticity from the Canadian gov't. 2. if it doesn't, I believe it will (or at least may) come with a number that you can plug into a Canadian website that will confirm that yes in fact this diamond came from the NWT, but was cut somewhere else.

hannah Rough Rock Total Posts: 77 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 3/28/2004	Hi aj55. You should check out CanadianDiamond.com a company that is based out of Vancouver. And you can make an appointment to see their goods in their showroom. Yes, Canadian diamonds are a little bit more expensive (anywhere from 10%-20% more). But some would say that that's the price you pay for peace of mind, knowing that it isn't a conflict diamond.
