Anyone who has watched the ubiquitous gold mining reality shows on HISTORY and the Discovery Channel knows that gold mining is a dirty business. Gold recycling, on the other hand, has a much smaller footprint. While jewelry doesn’t have a reputation for being particularly eco-conscious, these eco-friendly jewelers are changing that, one ring at a time.
