Anne Sportun's creativity is driven by her belief in a universal language of shapes and symbols. Finding pure beauty in nature's organic forms, she balances the precise with the irregular, the perfect with the prosaic. Sparkling gems adopt an understated elegance that transforms them from special-occasion dazzlers to wear-everyday pleasures. Based in Toronto, she's been honored with a Canadian postage stamp featuring her hands and rings. Conflict Free Diamonds: All of the black diamonds that Anne Sportun uses are from India and the rest of the diamonds are from Russia. 98% of the diamonds in the world must go through what is known as the Kimberley Process, which is a worldwide effort that identifies and excludes blood diamonds from the main commercial markets. Anne Sportun only deals with reputable dealers so the conflict diamonds do not make it into their markets at all.
