Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability in Tungsten Jewelry
Tungsten mining isn’t pretty—80 % comes from China, often small-scale with lax oversight. Child labor and habitat loss plagued early 2000s supply chains. Enter Fairmined Tungsten (modeled after Fairmined Gold). Rwanda’s Wolfram Mining now certifies conflict-free, rehabilitated sites. Reforestation offsets 1.2 trees per kg extracted.
Recycling closes the loop—old rings and industrial scraps yield 95 % recoverable tungsten. Brands like Tungsten Fusions use 70 % recycled carbide.
Water use: modern sintering cuts consumption 60 % vs. 2010. Energy? Solar-powered furnaces in Portugal test batches.
Look for Responsible Jewelry Council certification. Avoid "tungsten carbide" with vague origins. Price premium: 15–20 % for ethical.
Your ring can fund schools (Rwanda’s program built 12 since 2022). Durability means one ring, one lifetime—ultimate sustainability.
