Eco rings are rings that are environmentally friendly, i.e. they use recycled gold and man-made diamonds. The rationale is that gold and diamond mining are damaging to the environment and exploit human labor; thus, by using pre-owned gold and creating diamonds in a laboratory rather than getting them from the ground, we can minimize the negative impact of jewelry-making on the environment as much as possible. GreenKarat is an example of a company that makes eco jewelry.

I’m interested in the differences in terms of cost, durability, looks, and value. Also if you have any information about “green” (environmentally friendly) diamonds, it would be greatly appreciated.
