THERETAIL JEWELER 81Continued to Pg 85 Many consumers particularly Millennials are concerned precious metals and gems often are taken from fragile ecosystems or areas involved in warfare. Many jewelers understand this concern and require their vendors to pledge that the diamonds they purchase are conflict-free. Others focus on using recycled gold and platinum to reduce the need for mined metals. According to research by the International Institute for Sustainable Development most customers are sincere in their intentions to commit to a greener lifestyle but look for ways to make changes that relatively easy and dont require major sacrifice. By choosing products that meet basic environmental sustainability standards jewelers can appeal to these buyers in a way that makes them feel good about the purchases they make.
