8% of DiamondGeezer.com’s business is in gold.
92% is platinum and palladium.
At this time we mostly use recycled scrap gold.
We know the providence of the diamonds we sell.
Gold mining is not exclusive to Africa. Gold is mined in Alaska, the United States, Australia, China, Russia and even Wales. (to name but a few). Filming tiny, unofficial ‘off-piste’ digs, man and pick axe down a hole, creates a totally false image of the industry. Gold mining working conditions have improved from 10 years ago, but, like the mining of all metals, still have a long way to go but can only be improved if the revenue is earned and reinvested.
