English 18x24 cm paperback.2022 Sustainable Jewelery contains all there is to know in order to
start down the path towards sustainability in the jewellery
business, from the traceability of gems and metals to
responsible production, the impact of the purification,
smelting and polishing processes, and the greenest ways to
work with certified raw materials. In the jewelery industry
and beyond, consumers are demanding products that are
ethical, hand-crafted, personal, and created with respect for
the environment. This implies a sustainability strategy that
takes into account the entire supply and sales chain, from the
extraction of metals to the materials used as packaging.
Updated texts and chapters include the latest developments
in sustainable jewellery, with new case studies and fresh
interviews with international designers and firms who are
already creating ethical, responsible jewellery. With an
introduction written by jeweler and activist Greg Valerio, this
book is a unique and essential guide for all designers who
want to ensure their products are ethical, sustainable and
respectful of the environment.
