Preferred term

diamonds and jewelry  

Definition(s)

  • The illicit trafficking in diamonds, gemstones, and jewelry represents a large segment of the transnational criminal market. Diamonds, gemstones, and jewelry appeal to international criminal organizations because of their high value, the difficulty of identification by law-enforcement officials, the lack of strong international regulations, and the high demand for them in the developed world, notably North America.
