With a New Year Comes a New Commitment...

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is coming to a close and a new year is now upon us...

And, with a new year, comes a new commitment to the environment! We here at Real Jewels believe that each individual can make a difference in a small way (together, making a BIG impact!).

Here are just a few of the ways REAL JEWELS has resolved to care for Mother Earth:

All of our pieces are made from recycled gold and silver.

Our packaging is FSC-certified, 100% recycled, 100% post-consumer waste, and chlorine-free.

Our mailers are made from recycled fibers and post-consumer content.

We use soy-based ink for all of our printing. (Vegetable-based inks offer a safer work environment for production staff by reducing harmful fumes and VOC emissions.)

In addition, we here at Real Jewels have taken the "No Dirty Gold pledge" which states,"I support the No Dirty Gold campaign to end destructive gold mining practices. I call on retailers and manufacturers of gold jewelry, electronics, and other goods to work to ensure that the gold in their products was not produced at the expense of local communities, workers, and the environment. I demand that the global mining industry provide retailers and consumers an alternative to dirty gold."

Learn more about dirty mining and refining practices at the official No Dirty Gold website!

So, in 2010, why not make a promise to yourself and the planet?

We've made it easier than ever before to take REAL JEWELS with you wherever you go...introducing Real Jewels MOBILE
!

Now that you've made a commitment to the planet, how about a reward?

Try an initial pendant from the REAL ME collection! They are available in Sterling Silver, 10 Karat gold, and 14 Karat gold. All come with our signature, fair trade green peridot tag that guarantees that your jewelry was made in a responsible manner!




Real Jewels. Beautiful. Sustainable. Real.

Stay Real & best wishes for a happy and healthy new year,
The Real Jewels Team
