Honestly, I was kind of shocked that they would actually say Leonardo's name in their commercial- and even mention the movie at all.
As you will note in the movie (I already knew this) they will say that sure, but the truth of the matter is that the conflict diamonds are eventually mixed into the circulation with non-conflict diamonds and it is impossible to really know where your diamonds came from.
