Recently, Congress decided to ban the import of Burmese “Blood Rubies” in response to Burma’s military regime’s atrocities.. Our goal is now twofold: 1) Identify jewelers who continue to sell Burmese rubies 2) discourage jewelers from selling and consumers from buying any Burmese rubies, regardless of their legality, because it is a symbol of the oppression of the people of Burma... We will need “secret shoppers” to go into jewelry stores across America to find out which jewelers still carry Burmese Rubies... We simply want you to inquire at jewelry stores in your area if they continue to sell Burmese rubies... We will ask them to do the ethical thing and stop selling all Burmese rubies. If the jewelers are not interested in ceasing to sell Burmese rubies, we will take further action... [refers to positive steps by Leber Jeweler, Tiffany, Jewelers of America]
