This article is about sustainable jewelry and Christina T. Miller’s story. It mainly talks about how she started becoming interested in making jewelry with her uncle when she was about 18 years old when he questioned her about the origins of the materials from jewelry. Through her uncle’s knowledge and Millers’ eagerness to find a more sustainable way to get fine jewelry, her ultimate goal is to create a sustainable way to make fine jewelry; she said she “wanted help defining our goals and standards so that we could implement better practices moving forward.” Miller now owns her own consulting agency. She works “with designers, suppliers, and others within the jewelry industry’s supply chain, as well as with nonprofits and other organizations,” to achieve this goal. She is currently working on a project that is supposed “establish a conflict-free supply chain for gold, centered on miners in the eastern part of the country working manually or on a small scale.” Overall, Miller is a leading person in our society who will change the fine jewelry business.

This article surprised me, and this spoke to me because I feel like jewelry is never really talked about when talking about climate change. This is why Millers’ story stood out to me. Amazingly, she has created a sustainable jewelry business; she is definitely a leading businesswoman in the jewelry department, helping our earth by creating this. I also find it important that Miller does this because many women wear jewelry. Even making jewelry more sustainable will help with climate change in the long run, even if it doesn’t seem to have any significant positive impact.
