By now everyone knows about the dreadful cost of mining and trafficking most of the precious metals and gemstones used in today’s jewelry industry. But thanks to companies like Brilliant Earth, you can still have beautiful, exquisite fine jewelry without trading in your ethics.
Brilliant Earth works exclusively with ethically sourced or upcycled metals and stones mined in Canada. The company provides a 100% conflict free guarantee, and it donates 5% of its profits to communities around the world which are adversely affected by the jewelry trade. Their non-profit fund goes to education, medical aid, child labor prevention, and land restoration projects.
As a green company offering ethical products, Brilliant Earth has a very special Earth Day offer:
