90% of all mined diamonds are used by industry.
Not every diamond is clear enough to be jewellery grade.

Are you saying that you are using diamonds in your tools, that had been dug in conflict zones?
It is impossible to find any sort of data or traceabilty for diamonds used in tooling because it is not one single gemstone like the jewellery industry.
It is a fine diamond powder which is bonded to a steel tool.
Having said that industrial grade diamond is so cheap compared to gem quality I would guess there is no need to cut corners and deal with dubious dealers.
My initial thinking was that industrial grade diamonds are mostly artificial.
If dubious dealers come in to possession of low grade diamonds, would they not offer a deal?
It's hard to believe that mines with poor ethical practices ONLY sell the highest quality diamonds. That's a weird concept.
