There is a social disconnect in giving
mined gemstones linked to
* wars and human rights abuses * poor living conditions
* child labor * environmental degradation
as tokens of love
EthicMark GEMS Mission
EthicMark GEMS challenges global
mining of gems –
Unnecessary now that human science creates gems indistinguishable from those mined.
EthicMark GEMS certifies only gems created by Earth-friendly materials science, are conflict and cruelty free,
more humane and sustainable.
Pledge, whether for yourself or gift-giving, never to purchase mined gems. Choose jewelry crafted from lab-created gems or sustainably sourced organic materials. Keep mined pieces with sentimental value and gift away, to loved ones or good causes, jewelry comprised of mined stones.
