A Diamond In The Rough

It's always refreshing to find more companies taking their earth friendly responsibilities seriously. Especially when it's a company that creates beautiful earth friendly jewelry! Cred Jewelry, based out of the UK, takes an environmentally ethical approach to creating their lovely wedding and engagement rings. They work to ensure that

"the mining of the metal and gems for our beautiful jewellery respects strict social and environmental principles. Restoring and reforesting mined land. Avoiding use of toxic chemicals that pollute rivers. Protecting marine life and eco-systems."

Their pre-designed rings are simple and elegant and offer numerous settings and cuts to choose from, as well as the option to have either white gold, yellow gold, or platinum. They also offer bespoke, or custom designed rings as well. Custom design can be a little more pricey, but since it results in a one of a kind piece that's a reflection of you, it's often worth it. And Cred has created some absolutely gorgeous custom designs which you can see here.

Another great thing about Cred is they donate a portion of their profits to their sister organization, the Cred Foundation, which funds international humanitarian projects.
