Please join us for a seminar by Christina T. Miller on Tuesday June 7, 2016 - 6-7:30pm. Christina will share what she loves best about jewelry, its unique ability to embody our deepest emotions while also benefiting people and places along its journey from the earth to our bodies. These benefits haven't always existed. Today, jewelers are adding traceable metals and gemstones to their jewelry such as certified recycled gold and diamonds to, fairtrade gemstones and Fairmined certified gold and silver. Miller will share some inspiring stories of pioneering jewelers that have made responsible practices their focus and in turn are transforming the jewelry industry for the better from the inside out.
