I know women who don't want diamonds as they sometimes fund war; whoever controls the diamond mines in some African countries use the profits from the sales thereof to buy guns and ammo.
The new thing to avoid are conflict minerals from the Congo. Congress is working on legislation. Personally, I don't have much to worry about; I'm not in a position to be buying diamonds or other gemstones at this time. If I was? I'd be more likely to buy vintage jewelry, the original funding for which would likely have benefited the British Empire, back in the days during which the sun always shone upon it.
I'm interested to learn more about the legislation.
