Everyone loves beautiful jewellery. It does not matter how expensive it is, or whether they are ethical diamonds rubies, or if it is a necklace or pair or earrings. More and more people who love jewellery have now become concerned that the pieces they are wearing have contributed towards damaging the environment or the exploitation of workers and craftsmen in other countries. These are issues that everyone should be aware of and if this is something that is important to you, then you may want to know more about ethical jewellery or fair trade jewellery. A lot of jewellery that is produced can involve the exploitation of human and natural resources. For example, when gold is mined in Peru, cyanide is used in the process which can cause a number of problems for the environment. Some open pit gold mines have caused so much destruction to the land; they can be seen from space. Many sweatshops all over the world are used for manufacturing jewellery, and the wage and conditions of their workers experience needs to be taken into consideration Nowadays, lots of people are becoming more concerned about such issues and wish to buy ethical jewellery for some of the following reasons: Ethical jewellery is made from co-operatively run gold mines. This minimises the damage caused to environment. Other sustainable materials are also being used, for example, recycled glass and off cuts of wood. The makers of ethical jewellery pay fair wages, which are in line with the cost of living in the countries the jewellery is being produced in. Investment such as training and improving workplaces is made into the communities where ethical jewellery is made. At Ingle & Rhode, we are conscious of these things and if you are too, we have a wide range of ethical jewellery for you to choose from.
