I know there is a band on the trade of conflict diamonds. That each diamond coming into our open markets must have a seal of origin. But if you own a conflict diamond... Can you get in trouble for having it and/or can it be taken from you?

No, you won't get in trouble. The diamonds coming into the 'open' market are bought by corporations that must show proof of the transaction. By the time it gets to a consumer, it's assumed to be 'clean'.

No- not with all of the stones on the market prior to the
naming of ''blood diamonds''. Most people don't own
enough diamonds to make it a concern...only the distributors
would have enough stock to be worried.

No you cant get in trouble b/c there is no way to prove a diamond was bought legally, thats the hard part about stoping blood diamonds.

authentic diamonds now have a serial quantity etched into it. A jeweler can locate it an verify to work out in spite of the fact that if it fairly is authentic. confident, unlawful diamonds are unlawful to possess. The complicated area is determining a diamonds origins. no longer having a serial quantity would not advise it fairly is unlawful.

The statement at the end of the movie by the same name indiciates that it is up to the consumer to determine that status.

You probably won't get in trouble, but you should be ashamed of yourself. Every time you look at it, think of the slaves that found it and the men, women, and children that died to get it to you.

I'm sure it can, but its 100% unproveable unless you got like 100 of them.

No it is not illegal at least not to my knowledge.
BUT it SHOULD be. Ethical trade and all that.
