I’m sure you’ve heard of ethically sourced cosmetics, body care products and even health supplements. When it comes to ethically sourced products, it means that the ingredients in the product are sourced in accordance with fair trade and environmentally and labor responsible principles. Brands that have employed the ethically sourced tagline are such as Unilever, BodyShop, Dove, Lipton and Bridgehead Coffee.
Now, the jewelry market is also jumping into the band wagon or producing ethically sourced jewelry that is used to make necklaces, earrings, designer watches, cufflinks, pendants and many other products. The movie Blood Diamond has opened the eyes of many and thus, this has pushed many corporations and organizations around the world to produce jewelry that advocates fair labor, environments and ethical procedures. Through ethically sourced jewelry, not only do the designers make the profit but the people on the assembly line, the miners and everybody that comes into contact of making just one single piece of watch, cufflink, necklace or earring.
The jewelry industry has begun to work on ethical grounds and this trend will continue to keep going on. The market for ethically sourced jewelry is still insignificant as of now, but as more people become aware and be concerned about where the materials of jewelries came from, it will soon become fashionable to wear only items that are produced in an ethical way. So the next time you buy a pair of unique designer cufflinks or designer watches, you might as well stop and reflect whether the material was ethically sourced or not.
