We make is valuable because we want to have that big rock on our finger. I have to agree, diamonds are beautiful, but is it worth more than human lives and rights? We are just a bunch of spoiled bratz. I am getting married this winter and looking for alternatives so I”™m glad I found resources. The ring is not important; Love is. I couldn”™t wear a diamond on my finger for the rest of my life; I would feel guilty and think about it all the time. I”™m not even sure about the conflict-free diamonds. Personally, I would rather wear a used ring; it has a soul, karma. The older, the better. After seeing the movie Blood Diamond, I can’t believe we put so much value on a stone.

I write the only blog dedicated to this subject, www.fairjewelry.org and am a jewelry manufacturer myself trying to grapple with these principals. We need market support. If just 5% of the people walking into the average jewelry store asked for fair and eco jewelry, the industry would change fast. If you want to learn more about hese things, check out my blog.
