This organization made up of Jewelers and Metalsmiths advocating social and environmental responsibility was founded 10 years ago by Susan Kingsley and Christina Miller because of their dismay upon learning how precious materials were mined at the time. Mission: Lead jewelers and consumers in becoming informed activists for responsible mining, sustainable economic development and verified, ethical sources of materials used in making jewelry.
