Wedding rings, engagement rings and other finery that glitters and shines, how pure is it really and what could be more precious?
Not easy to answer a question like that since we all have different value systems and give value to certain things more than others. The link will direct you to a short film about gold and how it affects those who mine it.
I have the joy of knowing that my wife’s engagement ring and our wedding rings are ethically sourced. Chocolate Couture made us great rings at great prices and more importantly left our conscience feeling good about the decision. For us people are worth more than gold.
Gold is a killer, just like diamonds, and other precious stones and metals.
What will you choose?
It’s a difficult world to live in ethically, so many things that seem out of our control and yet small changes can grow and lead to bigger ones and when many people join together something can be done.
