Earth Day 2017: Eco-Friendly Jewelry

earthday

 

Happy Earth Day! For 47 years, Earth Day has inspired individuals to renew their commitment to environmental protection. It also gives us at Brilliant Earth a chance to discuss one of our favorite topics: Eco-friendly jewelry. At Brilliant Earth we are committed to environmentally friendly practices. SCS Global Services, a leader in third-party environmental and sustainability standards development, has independently verified that our diamonds are traceable to their origins and confirmed our chain of custody of protocols.

We go beyond the usual standard to offer diamonds that originate from ethical and environmentally responsible sources. Our ethically sourced natural diamonds originate from mines that follow strict labor, trade, and environmental standards. We’re also committed to handcrafting our fine jewelry from recycled precious metals. Dirty gold mining has a history of civil war, labor abuses, and environmental devastation. Choosing recycled precious metals helps diminish the negative impacts of dirty gold.

By choosing to purchase products made from ethically sourced materials, consumers can reduce the demand for dirty gold mining and diamond mining that leads to environmental degradation.
