Reuse, Recycle or Refine – Which is the Greenest Jewelry?

Is recyled, reused or refined jewelry the most eco-friendly jewelry?

Reused jewelry is without question the most environmentally friendly jewelry. The United States Environmental Protection Agency always recommends buying used as a consumer tip for all “green purchasing”. When you purchase pre-owned, vintage, estate or wholly recycled jewelry the greater negative environmental impact from mineral extraction and casting has already been done to our environment.

The second most environmentally-friendly jewelry available would be refined or recycled gold or platinum. However, refining and recycling may cause a negative earth impact by melting metals or by using acid to remove gemstones from their mountings.

Antique, estate or vintage jewelry may often be found in fantastic condition or gently worn condition. You may even find "green rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings" that have never been worn.

Planning a wedding? Start your new life together with green bridal jewelry. Antique, Art Deco, Edwardian or vintage contemporary wedding jewelry are an important aspect of green weddings and may encourage others to become more environmentally concerned.

Buying recycled jewelry does not mean that you have to compromise on beauty, quality or style. Often you will locate products that are currently being sold in high street jewelry stores.

Green, eco-friendly jewelry is not only good for the environment it can also be more cost effective. Comparison shopping between online estate jewelry to new products and you will find great values.

For an even greener experience, try online shopping. Online green estate jewelry shopping will use up to 40% less fossil fuel, plus online shopping will save you time.

Green or recycled jewelry may be found online by searching for Antique, Estate, Used, Pre-Owned, Heirloom or Vintage Jewelry. Antique jewelry refers to items that are over 100 years old.
