But not many people are aware that the mining of precious metals is responsible for a great deal of environmental damage, from soil ero- sion to lead emissions and the creation of sinkholes. Even the modern trend of ‘fast- fashion’ that has fuelled the demand for cheap jewellery also comes with a carbon footprint. Responding to heightened interest in sustainable and ethical practices, a new wave of jewellery designers are starting to incorporate sustainable materials for creating exotic pieces, which comple- : ments the contemporary fashion landscape.
