rings

wildlife-friendly bling

vintage

Same deal as the dress: To save on raw materials, go with an antique or vintage ring if you can. Vintage rings come in many unique styles, so you can find something one-of-a-kind that reflects your personality.

ethical & sustainable

Work with a jeweler who sources their materials ethically and sustainably. This means purchasing from suppliers whose mines maintain safe worker conditions and minimize environmental degradation. 


Manmade diamonds involve 80% fewer emissions than mined diamonds.

recycle

Seek out designers who use recycled material to create their jewelry. Some jewelers may even let you supply the material. Maybe you or your relatives have some jewelry that is outdated or they just don’t wear anymore. Ask your jeweler if the stones and/or metals can be repurposed for your ring, and you’ll have a family heirloom with your own twist.

Pass on traditional rings altogether and get tattoos instead. You’ll never have to worry about losing them, they’re usually cheaper than traditional rings, and you get to design them yourself. Just make sure to do your research and find an artist who’s clean, safe and trustworthy. Many inks are vegan, too, so don’t be afraid to ask them about that. This way you can make sure your tattoo is special and sustainable.
