Leaders in the forefront of manifesting true Ethical Jewelry, speak their minds about how and where the Jewelry Industry needs to go for truly ethically sourced jewelry.

In a study of the jewelry sector in 2007, JCOC notes how Blood Diamonds, Dirty Gold and to a lesser extent, Rubies from Burma have led many consumers to be concerned about where their jewelry comes from and how it is made.

In this post, I link to a report on the Ethical Consumer in the UK. Although it does not specifically mention jewelry, it does provide a detailed profile about the ethical consumer which is certainly of interest to those of us in the jewelry trade focused on attracting that customer.
