As supporters of the natural diamond industry, our family decided to visit our diamond source in Africa. We wanted to see how our industry affects the lives of people in Namibia and South Africa. During our visit, the locals warmly welcomed us, and we learned a lot from them. We visited youth groups in South Africa and met children who rely on these groups for meals, school programs, and guidance toward higher education. These children bring hope to their families for a future without poverty. We also visited the homes of the poorest people and gained a renewed appreciation for basic necessities like plumbing, electricity, and fresh water.

As we talked with community members, visited schools, and admired the local nature, we all felt a change inside. Many years ago, we committed to preserving and showcasing natural treasures. This trip reminded us of our purpose in a new way. Natural diamonds are the base of an industry that provides real value in jobs, healthcare, and education to families dreaming of a better future. This experience reminded us of our shared opportunity to support the people and lands from where we get the beautiful gems we wear. Natural diamonds offer a unique brilliance that cannot be replaced.
