Sustainably produced, ethical jewelry is a driving force in the luxury goods sector; as well as an important new chapter in the history of adornment. *Bejeweled* is the first book to highlight the multi-faceted ways in which ethical jewelry benefits the planet, the people involved in its production, and those who wear it or give it as gifts. The materials used in their creation are sourced according to environmentally, ethically, and artistically responsible standards and practices, and the designers involved in supporting these endeavors pay their artisans fairly, as well as donate a portion of sales to nonprofit cultural, human rights, and social services organizations.

Profiled here are renowned designers like Pippa Small, an early user of Fairmined gold who employs local artisans to fabricate her one-of-a-kind pieces; Dewey Nelson, a Hopi artist who incorporates one thousand-year-old tribal motifs in his reclaimed silver pieces; and Loren Nicole, whose jewelry features intricate hand-carved gemstones and 22-karat gold alloyed in the same formula used by ancient Roman goldsmiths.

Illustrated with exquisite photographs of the individual pieces, featured both alone and worn by the designers who are working to turn the "red carpet" green by producing ethically sourced jewelry for celebrities and others, *Bejeweled* is a for all gemstone and design fans.
