    The jobs a total joke. Psy is bad. No need for the entire company to interview someone.

    Stop getting high in the backroom, stop using racial slurs and stop stealing sales.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Yes totally! You feel undervalued when you are called a racial slur and bullied by an assistant manager, take it to HR and nothing is done. All because the assistant mgr was a club writer.

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Helzberg Diamonds

Beautiful jewelry can be sustainable for the earth, too. That’s why we’re committed to managing our environmental footprint by minimizing negative impact. We require our partners to comply with environmental laws, agree not to source gold from areas that are protected or cause harm to the environment. This includes the International Union for Conservation of Nature categories i-iv. In other words, we do our very best to protect our earth.

At Helzberg Diamonds, we believe our customers deserve stunning designs, exceptional quality, and responsible sourcing. That’s why we go beyond industry standards when it comes to our mining standards, diamond sourcing, and fair labor standards in our own jewelry and from our partners.

From engagement rings to everyday diamonds, Helzberg Diamonds is committed to helping everyone feel loved — with transparency and integrity throughout the process.

CONFLICT FREE DIAMONDS
All our natural diamonds are conflict free, meaning that they are ethically sourced from start to finish. We will not purchase any diamond mined after December 31, 2002 that is not accompanied by the World Diamond Council warranty statement, in which the seller certifies and guarantees that the diamond is conflict-free.

We’re also a leading supporter of the Kimberley Process, which prevents the sale of conflict diamonds in the United States and more than 60 other countries around the world.

Our business partners are under legal and contractual obligation to keep records of the Kimberley Process Certificates for all rough diamonds and these certificates must be independently verified on an annual basis.

RESPONSIBLE METALS MINING
At Helzberg Diamonds, we are committed to sourcing metals that are environmentally and socially conscious. Our gold and other precious metals are produced under the highest social, human rights and environmental standards.

Our partners are required to adhere to these same principles too, and to be in compliance with the conflict minerals laws which Congress passed as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in order to target conflict minerals. We also fully condemn the use of any minerals to fund conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in its adjoining countries or anywhere in the world.

At Helzberg Diamonds, we believe that everyone deserves to feel loved. Since our start in 1915, we have defined our company values by helping others through philanthropy, customer appreciation, and corporate responsibility, and believe that the interest of our stores and the interest of our community are the same. Under the leadership of CEO Beryl Raff, Helzberg Diamonds continues to spread the love.

Helzberg Helps is a 501c3 organization established to spread the love in communities who need it most. We’re a team of passionate, dedicated volunteers from across Helzberg working to raise funds and volunteer for charities such as Make-A-Wish, Salvation Army, Children’s Mercy Hospital, and more.
