Did you know that 20 tons of mine waste is generated by the manufacture of a single 18k gold ring? Or that a single one carat diamond generates 250 tons of mine waste? The jewelry industry can be a dirty business, but it doesn't have to be.
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. 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.
