jewelry might be small in size and appear to have a low environmental impact, but often that assumption couldn't be further from the truth. the ugly reality behind the business of making pretty things ranges from human rights abuses and violence to terrorism and outright civil war.  precious metals, diamonds and semi-precious stones are often acquired using unregulated labor practices in unregulated mines and processed using methods that cause a high degree of environmental damage. in the worst cases, there's an even higher human cost. but if you buy and take care of your bling carefully, you can avoid human and environmental harm.
