The artisan techniques of jewelry creation can counteract pollution.
Most of the creation techniques adopted only use human strength.
NDC jewels do not directly produce CO2!
The flame used in welding is produced by the combustion of hydrogen (the combustion reaction of hydrogen with oxygen produces water vapour).
Electricity use is minimized thanks to LED lighting and low-absorption equipment.
Smelting operations are performed with electric furnaces.
NDC jewels undertakes to use only electricity from renewable sources.
The precious metals used come from certified sources.
The gold used in NDC jewels is ethical gold, i.e. a type of gold extracted and worked in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem and in collaboration with the communities involved.
For its extraction, explosives or chemical components incompatible with the environment are not used (such as cyanide and me rcurio), the working conditions respect the minimum safety standards, minor workers or women are not used in particularly heavy or dangerous jobs, the work shifts are defined and fair.
The ethical gold comes from mines managed by miners' cooperatives which participate in profits or mines that implement operations to improve life in local communities such as the construction of schools, hospitals and infrastructures.
The precious gems used come from certified sources.
All NDC jewels diamonds are purchased in compliance with the international agreement of Kimberley Process certification and in compliance with the relevant UN resolutions.
Diamond suppliers guarantee that they are "conflict free" and do not come from the Marange region of Zimbabwe.
Therefore our customers have the certainty that by purchasing their diamond they are not financing any conflict and do not contribute to the violation of human rights.
