>     Maybe a better sign would be "We carry conflict free jewels" 

    And how do you certify that.  A customer comes in and wants a 3mm
    ruby or Tanzanite  Are you going to spend several hundred dollars
    worth of documentation and research on that $20 stone? Get real. 
    There is no way any jeweler can guarantee that the stones they carny
    are "Conflict free"  unless they have personally dug them from the
    ground and faceted themselves .  Anything less than this is relying
    on someone else's word. and this does nothing other than give you a
    warm fuzzy that "you are clean". To state that "We carry conflict
    free jewels" is nothing short of a marketing ploy.
