About

Green Karat is the Eco Jeweler that opposes destructive gold mining and offers truly ecological alternatives for fine jewelry. From the precious metals used in the setting, alloys and refinery process, to the conditions in which the stones were obtained, Green Karat provides full disclosure of the eco footprint of each piece of jewelry you buy. Our mission is to be one of the most ecologically responsible companies around and to provide enough information so that you can be an ecologically responsible consumer.

The myKarat® recycled gold registry program lets couples recycle, reuse or donate precious metals sent in by their family and friends.Your recycled gold rings will be more affordable, more eco friendly, and imbued with tremendous sentimental value - a true creation of love from your family and friends!

Most people do not discard old jewelry, even when it is broken or unwanted. They therefore have gold and other precious metals in the form of old jewelry sitting idle in their homes. Gold also sits idle in bank vaults while mining continues at a pace of 2,500 tons a year, 80% of which is used by the jewelry industry. In fact, mining continues even though we estimate that there is enough gold above ground (already mined) to satisfy all demands of the jewelry industry for the next 50 years.

By participating in the myKarat® registry, you are driving a fundamental change in the supply chain of the jewelry industry as well as helping to reduce destructive mining activity on the planet.

We invite you to design your own custom engagement and wedding rings, symbols of love that won't harm the planet.

I highly recommend green karat. I received my engagement ring about a year and a half ago - it's an absolutely gorgeous ring and very special in that it is eco-friendly. The craftsmanship is flawless. I love what green karat stands for as a business - therefore I am putting my resources as a consumer in to a business I believe in. I am getting married in 4 months and am currently working with green karat on creating my wedding band. Allison at green karat helped me pick what style would fit best with my engagement ring. I did try on a few wedding bands at a local jeweler to see what styles I liked with my engagement ring first, but then worked with green karat to design what I liked best.

Both the engagement ring and wedding rings were purchased from GreenKarat and they were all exactly what we were looking for.
