The ethical issues surrounding engagement ring shopping can be quite overwhelming. Add to that, the huge choice in styles, materials and designs – and choosing the best engagement ring can suddenly become a confusing dilemma.
But picking between one eco-friendly engagement ring and another is instantly made a lot simpler since you’re already choosing from jewelry that subscribes to moral and ethical development.
Apart from finding the right vendor (and this is probably the most important), here’s a list of factors to consider when looking at purchasing an eco-friendly engagement ring.
Do your research:
It’s worth pointing out that even though a supplier may state that their designs feature gold and diamonds that have been sourced from an eco-friendly mine, what is not always included is the information surrounding where the gemstones and materials then go to.
An ethically mined diamond, for example, may be compromised on its journey to becoming a part of your ring. Doing your research into what a jewelry company are offering when they sell you an eco-friendly engagement ring, is crucial to ensuring you’re making the right decision.
