We all love beautiful shiny diamonds and gold, but the social and environmental impacts associated with the $ 75 million / year jewelry industry are devastating. Metal mining is one of the most toxic pollutants in the U.S. cyanide, mercury and arsenic polluting the soil and nearby waterways. Trade diamond has been marked by negative effects such as social disruption, dangerous working conditions, unfair wages, child labor and the displacement of the community.
The grassroots efforts are raising the level of activity in the industry as a whole. Groups like the Madison Dialogue, No Dirty Gold, Earthwatch, and Global Witness are playing an active role in transforming the industry to provide economic opportunities for communities rich in natural resources, the same people who suffer most from current mining and trading practices. Thanks to these efforts, now there are better alternatives.
Fine jewelry is a new sustainable trends that combines traditional craft of jewelry design and durable materials and workmanship. Using recycled precious metals and gems ethic origin (including lab-grown) drastically reduces the environmental burden, while the living wage and responsible trade of jewelry allows you really can feel good.
While there is no universally accepted definition or standards, "ethically gems of origin" usually refer to one of two types of stones. The first type are the calculations that have been extracted from the ground with minimal disruption to the environment, where a living wage is paid to miners and workers, and often can be traced from the ground to the market of origin are deemed ethically.
Some argue that the second type grown gems, lab, are more sustainable alternative that its environmental impact is only the energy needed to power the machine laboratory and
has no social consequences.
Genuine sapphires, rubies, emeralds, alexandrite, and now even diamonds are being identical to their counterparts in mines. To be clear, the stones are made by imitating nature and are not imitations.
Consumers as well as nonprofit organizations, are the driving forces of changes in the sector and accountability. It is not enough for consumers to accept "free of conflict" as a sign of sustainability. Conscious consumers should look actively to sustainable jewelry and jewelry companies wholeheartedly working to improve conditions for those most affected by the industry.
