At Catbird, we believe in the beauty of responsible luxury, this is why we are proud to offer ethical gold jewelry & recycled gold jewelry such as our ethical engagement rings. Discover with Catbird the ins and outs of ethical and recycled gold jewelry.
What is Ethical Gold Jewelry
Ethical gold jewelry, sometimes referred to as responsibly sourced gold, is crafted using gold that has been mined with minimal environmental impact and under humane working conditions. The goal is to ensure that the entire process, from extraction to production, is in harmony with both nature and humanity. This often involves supporting artisanal miners, investing in community development, and avoiding the use of harmful chemicals in the extraction process.
What is Recycled Gold Jewelry
Recycled gold jewelry, on the other hand, takes a different approach to sustainability. Instead of sourcing new gold from mines, recycled gold is derived from previously used jewelry. This process helps reduce the demand for new mining, limiting the environmental footprint of gold extraction. By repurposing existing gold, recycled gold jewelry contributes to a circular economy, where resources are reused and waste is minimized.
Ethical Gold vs Recycled Gold
While ethical and recycled gold jewelry aim to address sustainability concerns, they differ in their approaches.
Ethical gold focuses on responsible mining practices, ensuring that new gold is sourced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.
Recycled gold, on the other hand, tackles the issue by reusing existing resources, thereby minimizing the need for new mining altogether.
Both options offer environmentally conscious consumers the opportunity to make choices that align with their values.
