Eco-Friendly Wedding Rings

Beautiful eco-friendly wedding rings.

Ready to tie the knot? You may already have a ring in mind for the big day. That ring will remain on your hand every day, and you want to be sure that you love it. Your engagement ring and wedding bands may be one of your largest wedding expenses. Many brides spend countless hours searching for the perfect design.

If you are concerned about your carbon footprint, you will love having the option to buy eco-friendly wedding rings! Recycling old gold and having it remade into the ring of your dreams is entirely possible.

Utilizing the online registry at mygreencarat you can ask your friends and family to contribute a gift of their old gold on your behalf. This is a beautiful way to have their support, something of them intertwined with the most symbolic ring you will ever wear. Your rings will be embedded with the love and support of your friends and family.

Ecoclogically responsible jewelery is the commitment that GreenKarat makes to you. They recycle and reuse your gold. They offer beautiful designs, both traditional and modern, as well as custom design services. From GreenKarat:

Demand for recycled gold, in conjunction with campaigns to clamp down on ecologically and socially unacceptable mining, holds the potential to effect change. Because this methodology helps societal custom work in concert with principles of commerce, it can be embraced by consumers and producers alike, and therefore result in sustainable change.

Additionally, this is a great option for old jewelery that is never worn or out of style. Instead of buying something new, recycle your old pieces of gold and gems into something new. A few years back my own delicate engagement ring broke (luckily I found the diamond) and I have yet to have it reset because I wanted a new design. I love this option for remaking my old ring. It will still be the same materials, just set in a new way.

Eco-friendly wedding rings and socially responsible jewelry is a simple way to use your buying power to effect an industry that damages the earth and endangers people all over the world. It may seem like a small step, but partnered with others, it can really add up.

Your wedding rings symbolize your love and commitment to each other. Why not let them make a statement about your commitment to the planet by choosing eco-friendly wedding rings?
