Manufacturing Process

A lot goes into the preparation of freshly made jewellery found in markets today. If its gold, the areas rich in gold reserves are mined. About 100% of the time, mining has a negative impact on the area and results in leaching of a variety of compounds, most of which are harmful to the ecosystem and the human civilization, if living nearby. Apart from soil erosion, mining releases a lot of harmful gases into the atmosphere, thus resulting in air pollution. With an increase in demand for new, exquisite gold jewellery, more areas are mined regularly leading to an even greater increase in pollution. When considering diamonds, the situation is even more threatening. Not just to the environment but manpower involved too. Ethical and eco-friendly jewellery takes care of the environment, sustaining us all, as well as the people we share equal rights with.

Unlike plastic,metals can be recycled over and over without losing their quality.Mining of the metals or stones like diamonds are done legally without causing much harm to the surrounding areas.
