This recycled wedding promise ring is available in matte or polished style, made from recycled sterling silver and adorned with sparkling cubic zirconia stones (synthetic gemstones that are more affordable than mined diamonds). Also makes a lovely gift for birthdays and anniversaries. The ring has a textured organic finish on the front, and a smooth refined finish at the back, for comfort.
There is enough gold and silver already mined, to last for eternity. If you choose rings with stones (say for engagement rings), also look for ones made with recycled materials, to avoid ‘blood diamonds’ (which fund civil wars) and cause other environmental problems. Of course, you don’t always have to buy a new wedding ring. You could use a relative’s ring or visit an antique shop. And there is no law to say that you have to buy or wear a wedding ring at all!
