A growing awareness of ecological and human rights issues involved in the gems, metals, and jewelry industries is fueling a powerful movement in the jewelry marketplace.
As jewelry customers learn more about environmental and human atrocities associated with mining and jewelry production, a market for “ethical jewelry” has quickly picked up momentum.
