What is environmental jewellery? Many jewellers, concerned at the extractive practices at the root of traditional jewellery-making are innovating in this exciting field. Using new kinds of materials, recycling and creating entirely new forms and shapes. But there is a lot for us all to consider, both to question some of the old traditions and to explore new ones.
What are jewellers having to think afresh about? What should they, and we all, be avoiding? As consumers, how can we make good ethical choices?

Here you will find a selection of thoughtful pieces of writing discussing some of the issues raised by the new GroundJewels. We hope they will guide your choices.
