Jewelry Karma: How to Do Good with Jewelry

Jewellery with Responsibility: Ethical Buying Made Easy

Every piece of jewellery has a story behind it – in the mine, in the factory, during transport. Ethical jewellery is no longer a niche, but the direction the entire industry is moving in.

What Ethical Jewellery Means

• Transparent origin of materials
• Fair pay for miners
• Environmentally friendly mining (no mercury gilding, no cyanide)
• No conflict diamonds (Kimberley Process)

Specifics: What You Can Look For

• Recycled gold: From old jewellery, electronics or industrial waste – no new mining
• Lab-grown diamonds: No mining, no conflict potential
• RJC-certified dealers: Responsible Jewellery Council – a quality mark for ethical jewellery
• Certified gemstones: With GRS origin certificate – transparency from mine to setting

What Greenwashing Is

• Vague promises without concrete certification
• “Sustainable" without explaining what that means
• Recycled gold without proof

Small Steps Count

If you're wondering why you would buy high-quality, durable gold jewellery from an oversupply of cheap fashion jewellery – that is already an ethical act. Buy less, buy better.
