Hello my pretty

I thought I would post a few of the highlights on offer in the ethical diamond world this week.

The following are a selection from Open Source Minerals (Canadian Diamonds from the Diavik mine), Kalahari – fair trade Diamonds, mined and cut in Namibia and the best on offer from the recycled Diamond world.

Because Diamond prices are in the middle of a major change, the prices have not been listed.

If any of these take your fancy or if you are looking for something not described here, just email me at melinda@ethicaljewels.com.au or call 07 3369 8438 for current stock and prices.
