Bryant Terry and Jidan Koon kept their wedding details eco-friendly, from holding the ceremony at their home using materials already owned, to using an ethical engagement ring from Brilliant Earth jewelry company.

The custom made sapphire is Jidan’s birthstone.

Brilliant Earth is an ethical jewelry company based in San Francisco that doesn’t source diamonds from regions where forces that are opposed to recognized governments control the areas and funds are used to support military action in opposition to recognized governments.

You may recall recent news stories about Naomi Campbell testifying about a diamond she received from Charles Taylor, a man accused of taking illegally mined diamonds from Sierra Leone insurgents in return for weapons that were used in a campaign of terror which killed 120,000 people and enslaved children.

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.
