(Love the name Wickedly Fabulous!)
“Conflict-free” is really just another diamond industry marketing ploy. If you are concerned about the devastating social and environmental impact of traditional jewelry, consider purchasing from a sustainable, ethical and responsible company that is working to change the industry.
There are a handful of jewelry companies offering beautiful jewelry you can feel good about made from recycled precious metals and ethically sourced gems. You may even consider lab-grown diamonds or alternatives such as Moissanite or Zultanite.
