Simply put, any jewellery made with less or no impact on our environment is called sustainable jewellery. The term is often referred to as ethical or recycled jewellery because it is crafted in a socially-responsible manner and leaves minimal or no carbon footprints on our mother earth. Some examples of ethical jewellery are jewellery made using estate diamonds, sustainable pearls, wood, recycled brass, handcrafted jewellery, and more. 

Recently, the conversation around sustainable, ethical, and handmade jewellery has tremendously increased, and for good reasons. Such conversations create awareness about the destructive nature of mining and urge the need to use sustainable materials whenever possible. If you are thinking about joining hands to save the environment, buying sustainable jewellery can be a significant step.
