Natalie Portman Attends Oscars Wearing Ethical Diamonds

Written by Vegetarian Star on February 24th, 2009 in Actresses.

ACADEMY AWARDS

Natalie Portman attended the Oscars ceremony looking ethical both inside and out.

The vegan actress wore a baby pink strapless dress, vegan shoes, and “ethical diamonds.”

Ethical or non-conflict diamonds, unlike “blood diamonds” aren’t mined in war zones where the profits go to fund violent activities against people during civil wars in Africa.

Although various certification programs exist to ensure diamonds are conflict-free, they aren’t foolproof and some have suggested that as much as 100 million US dollars worth of diamonds are traded illegally for arms each year.

Some companies, like Brilliant Earth, provide diamonds mined in conflict-free areas, such as Canada.
