Jewelry Trends 2008: Eco Friendly Diamonds!



Promise her the world, and show her you’ll care for it as well. Hey you guys, forget blood diamonds. To show your beautiful fiance' just how much she means to you, consider getting an earth-friendly engagement ring!
There is so much controversy involved with mining diamonds, that a lot of couples have opted to skip the icey bobbles entirely. For the bling-thirsty yet globally conscious, there are alternatives!
You won’t have to sacrifice glitz or contribute to the unethical treatment of miners thanks to San Francisco-based Brilliant Earth. The business was launched by Beth Gerstein and Eric Grossberg as a result of their love for each other and the Earth. Eric was stumped because he couldn’t find an ethical source for the dimaonds, so created Brilliant Earth as an alternative to the cruel industry.
“All of our diamonds come from Canadian mines that follow environmentally sustainable practices and are committed to delivering high quality gems. Our well-established suppliers authenticate the source of their diamonds as conflict free and follow established domestic business practices.” As part of its mission to promote industry-wide change, we work in partnership with advocacy groups to promote awareness about conflict diamonds, labor and mining issues, and environmental concerns in the industry. Brilliant Earth also dedicates 5% of its profits to directly benefit local African communities harmed by the diamond industry.
