Jamie Foxx has ditched his trademark diamond earrings to protest the use of conflict gems in jewelry.

The actor/singer famously wears big stones in each of his ears, but he insists he has now ditched real diamonds after he was educated about the history of jewels mined in warzones and sold to fund conflicts or profit warlords.

Foxx reveals, "I now wear cubic zirconia. I used to wear real diamonds, but there's too much issue about blood diamonds."
