Cartier Tank Divan One of the International programmes that promotes ethical and responsible trading and sourcing of gold and diamond jewelry is the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC). The council initiates and sets guidelines and standards in giving certification on looking after the issues on environmental performance, social aspects, labour, human rights and business ethics.We too can help in cleaning up the gold and diamond jewelry industry by not buying from jewelers who patronize dirty gold and blood diamonds mining. It is our own small way to make a big contribution in improving the quality of the gold and diamond jewelry industry and the lives behind the dazzling and shimmering gold, silver and diamond jewelry that you wear.Cartier Tank Divan
But how will you know that your favorite jeweler does not patronize dirty gold and blood diamonds?Thus, jewelry retailers over the world initiated campaigns against malpractices in gold and diamond mining industry and pledged to source gold and diamonds jewelry in accordance with human rights, social and environmental standards and guidelines. However, the effectiveness of the programme still depends on the efficiency and benevolence of the governments, police and the forces across all the territories in which it operates.Jewelers and retailers will suffer the consequences of unethical and irresponsible practices in the jewelry mining industry If consumers see them in complicit with unethical and irresponsible practices in the trading and sourcing of ;blood diamonds; or ;dirty gold;.

Cartier Women's Pasha A lot of researches have been conducted on the gold and diamond industry since the issues of ;Dirty Gold Mining; and ;Blood Diamonds; have been raised. Gold mining has been associated with violence and conflict and became one of the dirtiest industries in the world because of the environmental and human rights violations, land and waterways toxicity, displacing many people from their land and livelihoods. This does not only happen in the gold mining industry it also applies to the diamond industry. Cartier Women's Pasha
Perhaps one of the most popular ethical issues in the jewelry industry was in Zimbabwe regarding the so called ;blood diamonds; which have referred to by International inspectors because of the human rights abuses it caused to miners in this country.It is our social responsibility to do business in accordance with human rights and environmental awareness.Gold and silver, diamonds and precious gemstones Jewelry mining industry has always been one of the most profitable industries influencing lives of many people and creating and serving the rich, famous and elite. Gold and diamond jewelry is very popular with affluent people as a status of wealth and power. And even diamonds have been quoted as women best friend, for it has driven desire and passion.But, behind the shimmer and glitter of gold, silver and diamond jewelry hides a very shocking reality, a reality that most of us are unaware of. The jewelry industry faces perilous problems that affect not only the people in the gold and diamond industry but also our environment. And the question that we need to ask ourselves is ;Are the prices of our gold and silver jewelry and diamonds worth the cost of the lives and environmental damage caused by the jewelry mining industry?;Cartier Women's Pasha

Nothing can be further from the truth. There is virtually no difference between finished platinum and palladium diamond ring settings in color and luster and they are almost identical in mechanical properties. The only two noticeable differences from the customer`s perspective are the weight (palladium is 40% lighter) and the price. My knowledge on palladium is a result of my own, hand on experience with this metal as a bench jeweler. I have challenged few skeptical colleagues to differentiate polished palladium from platinum ring settings (both ruthenium alloys) without feeling the weight.

Just few years ago, at the end of 2001, palladium was more expensive than both – gold and platinum, and considering its increasing popularity, it is quite possible to spring back there.How beautiful is palladium?Reading some recent posts about palladium on some well known jewelry forums made me realize how ill informed are even some members of the jewelry trade advising people to stick to the well known and secure white gold settings if they cannot afford platinum.

According to this ;experts; palladium has grayish color and it does not polish well or even worst – it does not keep its polish.It all depends on ones value system. For some people jewelry have value equivalent to the amount of money spent on the purchase. For other the top factor is the intrinsic value, uniqueness or fashion compliance. Different value systems cause one object to be placed in two opposite categories. What about the palladium diamond ring? Is it cheating, being intrinsically cheap or it is a bargain being currently under priced? Let us first clarify what the diamond engagement ring should be. It should be made from rare, preferably pure precious metal, set with genuine diamond and skillfully designed and crafted. It is a courtship gift, hence expensive and beautiful. These are the rough guidelines. How rare and precious is palladium? It is rarer than platinum which is about 15 times rarer than gold. It belongs to the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) also known as noble metals due to their high resistance to corrosion. Palladium is one of only 4 metals that have an ISO currency code.
