JEWELRY INDUSTRY

The jewelry industry is a business that has existed since the beginning of mankind. For centuries this industry exploits our resources, based on horrible conditions for the workers and the environment. Gold, diamond or gemstone mining, is an dirty process to obtain materials that get more and more rare everyday. But these are not the only materials or industrial processes in jewellery, Pearl fishing and coral harvesting are also unregulated industries, not to mention bone and horn. All this for trading with so called luxury. A concept of value that is created by a commercial world.

get more and more rare everyday. But these are not the only questionably obtained materials or industrial processes in jewelry, Pearl fishing and coral harvesting are examples of typically unregulated industry, not to mention bone and horn.
