San Diego: Sustainable Luxury

 E-mail
San Diego Jewelry Buyers® is committed to supporting those jewelers, manufacturers, and mines who are turning "green" and making the jewelry industry a leader in eco-friendly luxury. As a jewelry buyer and seller, SDJB advocates the protocols established by Fair Trade Gems and the Ethical Metalsmiths. We also are a proud signatory of the NoDirtyGold campaign.

As India's and China's economies continue to boom, gold and diamond mines are under growing pressure to match the demands of millions of new luxury shoppers. But you can help. By selling your unwanted gold jewelry (and platinum jewelry) which can be melted down, refashioned, or resold to other buyers, you are reducing the need to expand mining activity around the globe.

To learn more about sustainable luxury and the greening of the fine jewelry industry please visit the SDJB's Eco Friendly page.

Recycling gold is not the only, nor by any means final, solution to the problem of destructive mining practices. But it is an important first step in which we all can take part.

- Carl Blackburn, owner, SDJB

Going Green: What Jewelry Shoppers Can Do

When considering buying jewelry from a particular designer or jewelry brand, check online what statements they have made regarding where they source their gold and gemstones, and what (if any) recycling measures they take. Also research where their jewelry is made and what steps they have taken to ensure fair labor practices. Or ask your jeweler for this information. If you can't find anything out, choose a different designer or brand. Read more.

Interview with SDJB Owner Carl Blackburn

From what I understand, you also see San Diego Jewelry Buyers' business as contributing to more than just the economy, don't you?

CB: That's right. As a professional jeweler and designer, I've been a longtime supporter of sustainable luxury. And when it comes to selling your gold to a company like SDJB, people are helping the environment by reducing the need for eco-harmful gold mining activities. The same thing goes for when consumers sell us their pre-owned diamonds and precious gemstones. It's a win-win situation for our customers, for us, and for the community. Read more.
