Sustainable Sparkle: How the Jewelry Industry is Shaping a Greener Future

Published on World Environment Day

At Indy Facets, we believe true beauty doesn't come at the planet's expense. This World Environment Day, we're reflecting on how the jewelry industry, and our team, are embracing more sustainable practices, from sourcing to design.

Shining a Light on Industry Progress

The jewelry industry has made significant strides in recent years. Today, there's a growing commitment to ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and transparent supply chains. From mine to market, companies are taking responsibility for how materials are extracted, processed, and sold, with sustainability at the top of mind.

What We're Doing at Indy Facets

At Indy Facets, we're committed to creating luxury with meaning. Here's how we integrate sustainability and ethical sourcing into every step of the process:

Recycled Metals

Every piece we create is crafted using recycled materials, including gold, platinum, and silver. These materials are melted down, refined, and repurposed into something new and beautiful. This process helps reduce the demand for newly mined metals, limits destructive environmental practices, and keeps valuable resources in use rather than waste.

Ethically Sourced Diamonds

We proudly partner with both lab-grown and natural diamond distributors who are deeply committed to environmental protection and ethical business practices. Our diamond partners prioritize renewable energy sources and low-impact production. These suppliers contribute to reforestation programs, wildlife protection, and educational initiatives in local communities.

Repurposed Heirlooms One of the most meaningful ways we promote sustainability is by helping clients breathe new life into family heirlooms. Whether it’s a vintage ring, a single earring, or a forgotten pendant, we reimagine these treasures into designs that feel modern, wearable, and personal, while preserving their emotional value. Reusing heirloom materials not only reduces environmental impact, but it also creates a story that continues across generations.

A Greener Future, One Piece at a Time

Sustainability is a journey, and we're proud to be walking it with you. Whether you're choosing a custom engagement ring or redesigning a family treasure, know that every decision you make with Indy Facets supports a more ethical and environmentally conscious jewelry industry.
