Towards Sustainability: The Rise of Ethical Jewellery

-


The gems and jewellery market has grown swiftly through centuries around the world. Over time, it seems to be hitting multiple dimensions including sustainability. But, the concept of producing responsible jewellery is not new, and it is common to see sustainable jewellery all around. Sustainability is curial in the jewellery industry because every stage in the supply chain starts from the ground. Whether it is about precious metal or the gemstone, all are found deep in the ground.

To address the appalling lapses in ethical standards such as child labour and environment deterioration, more and more diamond jewelry wholesale distributors give emphasis to sustainability. Sustainability must be embraced by the jewellery industry to create long-term value, to foster longevity, maintain ecological balances.
The younger generation has also become a thoughtful buyer and initiatives have sprung up to bring up sustainability in every industry in a more credible way including certificates that ensure the jewellery is produced without exploitation. In short, we all have witnessed a surge in awareness concerning sustainable practices in the jewellery sector.


Sustainability and sustainable solutions have always remained a core focus of KGK group.  KGK has always empowered less privileged and underprivileged folks as a part of its CSR activity.
