The Bite:
Rock out - just go for ethically sourced eco-bling. Jewelry that's vintage or comes from a mine that treats workers fairly has a special ring to the bling.
The Benefits: 
  • Recycled means eco-friendly. A single new 1/3-oz, 18-karat gold ring creates about 20 tons of mine waste.
  • Worker-friendly. Mining is some of the most hazardous work around, so choose conflict-free and fair-trade jewelry.
  • If it's vintage, it's totally unique, has a history and doesn't prompt more mining.
Personally Speaking: 
Jen had fun researching this tip but found it hard to give back some of the sample pieces when we were done product testing. (She even claimed that one might have been lost in the mail.)
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

For a little more than $2,500, the company LifeGem will synthesize a diamond from the carbonized remains of people or pets.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for a vintage gold ring instead of a new one, we'll avoid enough mine waste to fill 20,000 garbage trucks.

Hey, I heard about a new jewelry company that is launched and have a lot less expensiveness prices then Green Karat. You can check their website http://www.GreenORO.com and find lot of green jewelry pieces that are alike green karat but at very competitive rates. They specialize in green wedding bands and non-conflict diamond rings. The company is as green, environmentally and socially conscious, as a jeweler can be and unique thing is that they are offering three very exciting features which no one is offering right now. 1- Green Box Program 2- One Tree & One Ring a Time 3- Make Your Own ORO Ring 4- ORO Certificate of Authenticity [ Each ring you buy from http://www.GreenOro.com carries a Unique Tag Number ] The head of the company is Shimon Farkas and you can see how extensive her background is in all things green at her current website. http://www.GreenOro.com, He & his family is in jewelry business for three generations and featured on the ABC Morning News and New York Fashion Show. Shimon Farkas is the prime manufacturer of green jewelry all in house and nothing is outsourced to any third party that gives him leverage to cut down his cost and share it with the customers and also with assurance he is offering ORO Certificate of Authenticity with each ring. The aim is to make the pieces extremely affordable AND eco-friendly. Should be a really innovative website too, you can also ask for any Custom Design and that can be made within a matter of few weeks.

I've never supposed that the most eco-friendly jewelery I would be lucky to discover in a sex toys shop. No, it wasn't made of 18-karat gold, it was created from hundreds of small different colored candies. An edible piece of art and a wonderful gift idea at a reasonable price!
