(thenewsminute.com) - Natural diamonds have become more than just precious heirlooms - they’re symbols of a deep and abiding positive relationship between diamond mines and their local communities. What is a diamond worth? The answer, when you ask somebody who owns a natural diamond, will usually be emotional rather than monetary. Natural diamonds carry a feeling of resilience and authenticity. They’re cherished heirlooms, passed down from beloved ancestors. They’re preferred for their immense worth and emotional value. And beyond the glamour and luxury lies the positive impact diamond mines have on communities around them. For example, the members of the Natural Diamond Council (NDC), an alliance of natural diamond companies, took the pledge to align with the UN’s sustainable development goals - which aim to improve health and education, preserve the environment, and tackle climate change. And that’s only the start.
