   Look if they have blood on them.
   You can’t tell.Only the seller knows the answer

   True conflict free diamonds will have a certification document. Go to a reputable diamond/jewelry store and ask if it is certified conflict free and if you can see documentation.

   I work for a manufacturing jeweller.. and obviously i do purchase Diamonds.. we certainly make sure ours are conflict free… but did you know the same applies for Sapphire, Rubies..etc..? Anything that is valuable to man is often part of a conflict zone. Coal, oil… these substances have caused mass harm to many locals..
   We need to be aware that it is not just Diamonds!

   I still wear mine.. and i still drive my car, use electricity..etc…
   Its such a small amount of Diamonds that come into Aust and the U.S.. that are from conflict zones.. you can ask if you have any worries.
   Most should come certified as to their specific origin.
   You cannot tell the difference physically.

   Happy Shopping
