KIMITAKE, along with the global diamond industry, has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds.
Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from mine to market, the industry in partnership with the United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds.
At KIMITAKE, we only purchase conflict free diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers who, like us, proudly adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley Process.
While Kofu boasts a long history as a jewelry production area, many traditional workshops have been forced to close due to the aging of craftsmen, shrinking markets due to imports, and declining production output.
KIMITAKE manufactures jewelry using environmentally friendly materials that can be used semi-permanently, such as ethical gold and diamonds.
