Tell Bulgari to stop selling #GenocideGems

Next week is one of the biggest days of the year for jewelry sales, Valentine’s Day. Let’s demand that big international jewelry retailers, such as Bulgari, stop buying Burmese gems that fund the Myanmar military.

For decades, Myanmar’s military has committed numerous war crimes against ethnic minority communities as it has consolidated its control over Burma’s gemstone mines. Since the Myanmar military’s February 2021 seizure of power, the army has taken total control of the country’s billion dollar gem industry.

Sign our petition demanding that Bulgari to stop purchasing gems that fund the Burmese military’s atrocities.

Now, would you take a couple more steps to share the word?

Step #2: Post on Bulgari’s social media

Please post messages regularly on the social media accounts of Bulgari.

Copy the message below and adapt it as you wish. Add it as a comment on posts showcasing jewelry or watches on the Facebook and Instagram pages of Bulgari.

I refuse to purchase your jewelry and watches until Bulgari states publicly that it will no longer buy blood rubies from Myanmar that profit the Burmese military and its atrocities against the peoples of Myanmar.
