Online companies are pretty clear declaring these info.
You can check 25karats.com, all the products are made in USA and the diamonds are conflict free with certificates!

@Eric: Her stuff is gorgeous – thank you for the link!

After that thousands of dollars worth of engagement, now the two of you would have to find cheaper wedding rings. WHy not splurge more on the wedding rings rather than on engagement ring. It was just when deBeers actually started that giving engagement ring became popular.

Our rings were made by Natalie Frigo (www.bynataliefrigo.com). The diamonds were sourced from Canada, where there are tighter controls and the miners are paid a living wage. All the metal is recycled. She was great to work with and really cares about eco issues!
