So does anyone have an eco-friendly engagement ring? I have encouraged my boyfriend to go eco-friendly, but I'm curious to know if anyone has one. If so, what company did you order from? We are looking at MiaDonna & Co.

  • I love my e-ring. It's totally eco-friendly: platinum band with a conflict free diamond. It's really beautiful and simple.

    I told my wife I'd rather have a tattoo of a ring - that's eco-friendly. I just don't like to wear jewelry and, hey, it's even more permanent :)
  • There are a number of options for the Eco friendly jewelry. Eco friendly ring means you want the jewelry to be made up of recycled materials. That's really a positive attitude. if more number of people have this attitude, we can save the earth from the extinction of precious metals. You can try the http://www.cangles.com/servlet/StoreFront . They provide different handmade Eco friendly jewelries.

    Pawn shops/ebay/kijiji/family heirlooms for second hand rings, no need to remelt the metal so less environmental impact.

    not my EXACT ring, but the model it's cast after. mine has "Fatally Yours" engraved inside the band

    Ahhhh marketing. Some people will buy anything and gladly pay inflated margins if they think they are saving the earth.
