Why buy "Eco" Jewelry
The production of one gold ring generates 20 to 60 tons of toxic waste and the fugitive dust raised by the massive blasting, earth moving equipment and swarming trucks operating in enormous open pit mines blankets surrounding areas destroying native vegetation, wildlife habitat, and farmers crops.

Studies estimate that the mining industry uses approximately 10% of the worlds energy outputs every year and is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gases.
