You’ve decided to tie the knot, congratulations! Choosing to be committed to another person is a wonderful thing, but choosing to celebrate your love by supporting jewellery brands that reduce their impacts on people, the planet, and animals is the cherry on the (wedding) cake. Keep reading to discover some of the most beautiful and more sustainable engagement rings and weddings bands.

Not all jewellery is created equal.

So, we went on the hunt for some jewellery brands that create more sustainable and ethical pieces for your big day, and that, unlike Tiffany & Co.

The rings listed in this article are not only stunning, they’re also made from more responsibly-sourced materials and are better for people, the planet, and animals.
