Ethical Style: Angelina Jolie's Engagement Ring and the State of the Ethical Diamond

Image
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have built an image as Hollywoods most conscientious power coupleadopters of orphans, rebuilders of New Orleans, ambassadors to the U.N. So when the domestic partners announced their long-awaited engagement this month, I was a little surprised to learn that Pitt had gifted Jolie a new diamond ring. I assumed that a couple of their humanitarian pedigree would go for something a little less ethically ambiguous. Pitt and Jolie can afford to buy the most conflict-free diamond ring on the market. Pitt is estimated to have spent a yearand $250,000finalizing the design with jeweler-to-the-stars Robert Procop, who had previously partnered with Jolie herself to market charitable jewels to help fund a school in Afghanistan. But the origins of even the world's most closely watched diamond is not crystal clear. Jolies ring was verified by the Kimberley Process, a scheme endorsed by the U.N. General Assembly that supposedly certifies the provenance of diamonds fr...

Click photo to enlarge In a photo provided by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie, second from right, meets with Plinio, right, in Providencia, Ecuador Sunday April 22, 2012. Plinio is growing beans as part of agricultural project supported by UNHCR to encourage self sufficiency and improve nutrition in the community. This community located on the banks of the San Miguel border is composed of 24 Afro-Colombian families, all of them refugees. This community settled there in 1994 but had never received the visit of any institution until 2008 when UNHCR reached them for the first time. Their isolation makes them extremely vulnerable to the Colombian conflict (selective assassinations, forced recruitment, etc.) and considerably limits their access to rights. Since 2008, all the members have been registered as refugees, their children born on the Ecuadorian soil granted with Ecuadorian IDs and thanks to the coordination with local institutio...
