Eco Friendly Wedding Bands
Eco Friendly Wedding Bands.
After you get engaged, the first thing that people want to see is the ring. After the wedding, everyone wants to see the rings as well. But what if you could make a statement with your ring choice? What if your rings were more than just bling?
You could choose to purchase rings composed of re-refined and recycled precious metals such gold, silver or platinum. The metals are refined into pure elements, so the quality is the same as what is mined.
Why should you consider using recycled metals?
1. Gold mining has a history of civil war
2. Gold mining has a history of labor abuses
3. Gold miners receive low wages and are exposed to dangerous working conditions.
4. It takes 20 tons of gold to make one ring.
5. Gold mining causes water pollution.
Another option if you are looking for a more environmentally friendly choice, is wood. The rings are made from reclaimed wood. They use four different woods such as maple, apple, rosewood or cherry.
If you are getting married, don’t just think of bling when you select your rings. Consider options that are safe for the environment.
