Go Green: A Sustainable Luxury Lifestyle

E-mail
SDJB is a jewelry buyer passionate about the environment. Selling gold jewelry, diamonds, timepieces, handbags, jackets, and other pre-owned luxury merchandise with San Diego Jewelry Buyers® is not only a great way to put extra cash in your pocket but also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint.

Unsure what a "carbon footprint" is? Check out the website CarbonFootrpint.com. They give a quick and easy explanation. Plus they have a tool which you can use to measure your own carbon footprint.

Of course, selling pre-owned luxury products is only a small part of reducing our impact on the environment. There are lots of  things we can do, such as car sharing, using public transportation, fitting our houses with energy efficient light-bulbs, upgrading our insulation, and more.

The eco-friendly lifestyle is a total package. It requires us to rethink a lot of the ways we use the world's energy and natural resources. No action we take is too small. Recycling even a small luxury item like a diamond ring by selling it to an estate buyer is important because of the enormous amount of energy and waste involved in diamond and gold mining.

Meanwhile, selling and recycling leather handbags, jackets, and shoes so that others can enjoy them is a better way to honor the animals used to make the product--and follows the traditions of our indigenous ancestors.

For years, Carl Blackburn (owner of San Diego Jewelry Buyers) has promoted the idea of sustainable luxury in his work as a jewelry designer and manufacturer. A native-Californian, avid surfer, and outdoorsman, he continues that work today by promoting the selling and re-sale of pre-owned luxury products in San Diego and nationwide

We live in a wonderful world of beautiful things. Thank you for your concern in preserving it for the next generation.

Going "green" is an investment, one that is just as important as the financial investments we make to insure our children's security and future potential.

- Carl Blackburn, owner, SDJB
