SALES TAX Unless exempted by law, the Buyer is required to pay California State Sales Tax of 8.25% (if located within California) and any compensating use tax of another state, and/or any federal luxury or other tax, on the total purchase price including the Buyer's premium (if any).

CONTACT INFORMATION Customer Service support@hotjewelryauctions.com Conflict Diamonds are sold by rebel movements to fund military campaigns in their region. Non-voting members of the World Diamond Council, together with the Jewelers of America, have worked with the United Nations, government bodies, commercial interests and civil society to introduce a workable system for the certification of the source of uncut diamonds. This system, known as the Kimberley Process, was formally adopted in November 2002 and was implemented on January 1, 2003.
