Foundations for Sustainable Jewelry Practices

Foundations for Sustainable Jewelry Practices, a program by Christina T. Miller Consulting, offers a chance to understand and address the concerns faced by the jewelry industry on the path to responsible business practices. It aims to educate participants by providing resources and knowledge, bridging the gap between the language used and its actual meaning. As jewelers, we often have limited awareness of how our craft impacts the world around us, such as the lack of consensus on the definition of "recycled gold" in the industry. This program presents an amazing opportunity to gain deeper insights and make informed choices for our businesses.

Whether you're an experienced bench jeweler, sales representative, jewelry buyer, or a beginner, the first step towards responsible jewelry practices is learning the terminology and critically evaluating its implications. Each individual who invests time in understanding these concepts contributes to creating a more responsible and supportive jewelry community. This education is deemed crucial, akin to mastering technical skills like soldering or designing a ring.
