our position on conflict diamonds

We at Haig's of Rochester Fine Jewelry share the community's concern over conflict diamonds. Since 1973, we have offered only high quality diamonds purchased from some of the most respected and trusted suppliers the world over.

In April 2003, President George W. Bush passed The Clean Diamond Trade Act requiring all U.S. diamond dealers to purchase diamonds from suppliers and manufacturers who maintain documents showing that the diamonds were obtained through legitimate channels. The U.S. Customs Service enforces the act, which assists in finalizing the structure of the Kimberley Process (see our FAQ section for more information).

Haig's of Rochester Fine Jewelry supports the The Clean Diamond Trade Act and the Kimberely Process. We continually support and promote processes that maintain legitimacy in the diamond trade. If you would like more information about our diamonds, please email us or call us at 248.652.3660.

Tips on how to give diamond jewelry

Seize the day. Go outside the box to give her what's inside the box -- diamond jewelry from Haig's.

Dressed for Success
Arrange for your local jeweler to place in their window your ring and a sign that says "Will You Marry Me" or "For you, [insert name]. Happy Holidays". Take her for a stroll past the store and stop at the window for her to gaze at the jewelry and find your gift.

Holiday Romance
Propose or present the diamond at midnight on Christmas Eve during a church service or other holiday gathering.

Stocking Surprise
Put the velvet box at the very bottom of the stocking, which you've filled with thoughtless gifts.

History Repeats Itself
If the story is romantic, propose to her exactly the way her dad proposed to her mom.

The Fortune of a Lifetime
Steam a fortune cookie until it's malleable. Open the cookie, place the diamond jewelry inside with a note telling her how she is loved by you.

Don't Drink the Champagne!
Whatever you do, do not put diamond jewelry in a glass of champagne!
