Ethical Metalsmiths

Have a read of this website.

"Jewelry traditions are woven into our culture. Jewelry-making is our livelihood and we love our craft. We care about the traditions, integrity and future of metal arts. Ethical Metalsmiths was created for people who want their materials to be consistent with their values. We are demanding that the mining industry adopt more ethical practices. We invite our colleagues in the metals community; artists, metalsmiths, goldsmiths, jewelers, educators and students, galleries and collectors, retailers and suppliers to become advocates for responsibly sourced materials."
