A Thoughtful Gift (For Loved Ones & The Planet!)

Since it’s the season of giving, we’re going to do just that and keep our free ground shipping in effect for the rest of 2009…that’s one great reason to shop Real Jewels!

But, don’t forget the most important reason to shop Real Jewels – our commitment to the planet!

To help minimize the environmental impact that irresponsible mining and refining practices can have on our planet, we exclusively use recycled sterling silver and 14 karat gold in the manufacturing of our fine jewelry. We use precious and semi precious stones that are fair- traded. Our diamonds are kimberly processed certified and conflict–free.



We believe that “responsibly made” should be synonymous with trendy and fashionable, and that now is the time to embrace sustainability and promote awareness for future generations to come. We create jewelry that is joyful, thoughtful and always respectful of the environment and the people who make it.

What better way to show the ones you love that you care for not only them, but also for the Earth and the rest of its people this holiday season?

“If there is any responsibility in the cycle of life it must be that one generation owes to the next that strength by which it can come to face ultimate concerns in its own way.” -Erik H. Erickson

A little bit about us...

“We create the world in which we live; if that world becomes unfit for human life; it is because we tire of our responsibility.”
-Cyril Connolly

Now that the blog is up and running, we here at Real Jewels think it only fair to tell you a little bit about our company!

While one of our goals is to, of course, create unique pieces for you to enjoy, what you may not realize is that our jewels are just as beautiful “on the inside” as they are on the outside.

All of our jewelry is “responsibly made” exclusively from recycled precious metals and fair trade sustainable gems. In addition, you can have the assurance that the person who made your necklace, bracelet, or earrings was paid fairly and crafted your jewelry in a healthy, safe work environment here in the USA. We do not outsource any of our manufacturing to large, offshore factories. Instead, we manufacture our jewelry in small, family-run shops.

And, we don’t just talk about our moral, eco-friendly way of doing things…we also participate in the following organizations:

Green America: http://www.coopamerica.org

Madison Dialogue: http://www.madisondialogue.org

Now that you know some more about us…we’d love to get to know more about YOU! E-mail us at RealJewelsBlogger@gmail.com and let us know what you’d like to read on this very blog!

Until next time…

Stay real,

The Real Jewels Team
