Be it a neck, wrist, ear or finger accessory, the baubles we wear are often ill begotten, in more ways than one. From conflict diamonds to dirty gold, most mainstream jewelry is a far cry from environmentally and socially responsible. Enter Moonrise jewelry, a high-quality jewelry design company and valuable social enterprise. A socially AND environmentally responsible business, Moonrise jewelry is making a positive impact by continually seeking out new suppliers that adhere to Fair Trade and fair wage standards - protocols which ensure that workers receive a living wage for their goods, work in healthy and ethical conditions, and enjoy equal opportunities. In addition to this, Moonrise makes extensive use of natural, untreated gemstone obtained through the most environmentally sound mining practices and processed under fair trade protocols, and incorporates natural, recycled, and renewable materials into their designs whenever possible. And as if that was not enough, each Moonrise piece is handcrafted in Virginia through their innovative work / training program, "Jewelry with Heart", providing economic empowerment for women of all backgrounds. It looks good, to does good, it feels good. We like it.
