Danforth Diamond Offers Eco-friendly Jewelry Made from Recycled Gold, Platinum & Other Metals September 16, 2008

Posted by Jill Renee in : Buying Jewelry, Eco-Friendly Jewerly, Press Releases , add a comment

Harmony Recycled Precious Metals used to manufacture green engagement jewelry – everything from recycled platinum engagement rings to recycled palladium wedding bands for women & men.

eco-ring3.jpgMidlothian, VA  September 16, 2008 — The extensive collection of engagement rings and wedding rings offered by Danforth Diamond are now made from 100% recycled precious metals. Danforth Diamond partnered with jewelry manufacturer, Hoover & Strong, an industry leader in eco-friendly jewelry manufacturing and refining, to provide a green jewelry option to the marketplace.

The timing of those requests was uncanny and they confirmed a need for eco-friendly jewelry that wasn’t being met

As jewelers seek ways to be more eco-friendly and find alternatives to mining, recycling precious metals has become increasingly popular. With the slogan “Our jewelry is refined – not mined” Danforth Diamond emphasizes that while mining displaces earth and upsets the ecosystem of the area being mined, refining precious metals uses far fewer resources and has a lesser impact on the environment. “There is no difference between recycled metal and newly mined metal,” states Jill Renee, president of Danforth Diamond. “Both offer the same quality, durability, and shine. I believe this isn’t a trend; it’s the new way of doing business. There is no reason why all jewelry can’t be made from recycled material.”

Harmony Recycled Precious Metals takes unwanted or damaged jewelry, shavings and metal lost during the jewelry manufacture and crafting processes, and scrap precious metals from industrial uses and recycles them. The metals are melted down to separate them – the precious metals are separated from alloys that were added to provide strength or shine – and then all are reused in the manufacturing of new “green” jewelry pieces or other items.

Approximately 90% of the products on the danforthdiamond.com site carry the Harmony Recycled Precious Metals designation.

Prompting their search for a jewelry manufacturer who uses recycled metals, Danforth received several emails from customers and comments on the Danforth Diamond Blog asking about recycled metal jewelry options. “The timing of those requests was uncanny and they confirmed a need for eco-friendly jewelry that wasn’t being met,” Jill Renee said.

The use of Harmony Recycled Precious Metals reiterates Danforth Diamond’s commitment to people- and earth-friendly jewelry. They are a member of StopBloodDiamonds.org and are in compliance with the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme which certifies the origin of diamonds to make certain they are ethically sourced and conflict free.

Jill Renee added, “Danforth Diamond’s commitment to our customers is to provide engagement jewelry pieces that are as socially and environmentally responsible as they are beautiful.”

Danforth Diamond adds 18k Palladium White Gold to Diamond Engagement Rings November 1, 2007

Posted by Jill Renee in : 18k White Gold Palladium, Buying Jewelry, Diamond Jewelry, Diamonds, Jewelry, Palladium Jewelry, Press Releases, Wedding Jewelry, White gold , add a comment

Hypoallergenic palladium perfect for those with nickel allergies

Midlothian, VA - November 1, 2007 - Danforth Diamond, the engagement rings experts, released today their new line of 18k palladium white gold diamond engagement rings, wedding bands, and earrings. Danforth makes this announcement in the face of growing demand for quality white gold rings at affordable prices, adding another option to their extensive line of top quality jewelry available at: http://www.danforthdiamond.com

By replacing the nickel or silver traditionally used to make 18K white gold with palladium, Danforth can now offer superior quality without the fear of the common nickel allergy that drives many customers away from white gold, creating another option for their valued customers.

Long used by jewelers as a substitute for Platinum, Palladium jewelry came to prominence during World War II when Platinum was reserved for military uses. As it bears many of the same properties, but not the price-tag, usually associated with Platinum, Palladium was an excellent option for top quality jewelry instead of Platinum. By adding Palladium to yellow gold, jewelers are able to produce white gold that holds the white coloring better and longer than that made with nickel or silver, and helps avoid metal allergies usually associated with nickel.

The addition of Palladium to select wedding bands and diamond engagement rings is why Danforth Diamond continues to be the jeweler more people prefer. This announcement is another in Danforth’s long line of meeting their customers’ demand for high-quality jewelry. Danforth Diamond plans to continue offering the high-quality products their customers appreciate through their site at: http://www.danforthdiamond.com/ .

Danforth Diamond has over 50 years of experience offering quality jewelry for the best value. As experts they provide guidance and advice to help you enjoy the diamond purchasing process, and are known for their wedding jewelry, including platinum, palladium, yellow gold, and white gold engagement rings and matching sets.

Danforthdiamond.com Announces the World’s Largest Collection of Palladium Engagement Rings

MIDLOTHIAN, Va. - March 14, 2007 - Keeping in step with customer demand and current trends in the diamond jewelry industry, Danforthdiamond.com recently introduced a large collection of palladium engagement rings on their website. You can visit the online jewelry retailer at: http://www.danforthdiamond.com/

Palladium, a metal in the platinum family that is just as durable as it’s more expensive cousin, is the hottest new metal in the jewelry industry. Scott Kay, a master jeweler and authority in the industry, is calling palladium ‘the industry’s best-kept secret.

Danforthdiamond.com decided to specifically create the world’s largest collection of palladium engagement rings because of growing customer demand. For most brides, this is the one piece of jewelry in their collection that needs to be able to endure a lifetime - and palladium’s durability makes it an attractive alternative to other metals.

“The new palladium alloys used for engagement ring manufacturing are excellent and make this a hard option to beat when choosing metal for that perfect ring,”says Jill Renee, president of Danforthdiamond.com. That’s why we have expanded our selection of palladium engagement jewelry.

Customer demand encouraged Danforthdiamond.com to become a leader in offering palladium wedding jewelry. Every category of engagement ring offered on the site: solitaires, three-stone rings and rings with side stones has a palladium option. Matching engagement ring and wedding band sets are also available.

There are several different types of customers who consistently express interest in palladium:

Online Diamond Jewelry Retailer Joins StopBloodDiamonds.org January 2, 2007

Posted by Jill Renee in : Buying Engagement Rings, Diamonds, Press Releases , add a comment

Richmond, VA – January 2, 2006 – DanforthDiamond.com, an online diamond jewelry retailer committed to offering conflict-free diamonds, recently joined StopBloodDiamonds.org. For information about Danforth Diamond or to see their conflict-free diamond jewelry, visit: http://www.danforthdiamond.com.

Company president Jill Renee said the company decided to join the organization because though they are already in compliance with the Kimberley Process, they wanted to go one step further to assure customers of their commitment to conflict-free diamonds.

“We are in the diamond business, and we acknowledge there have been problems in the diamond trade.” Renee said. “We joined StopBloodDiamonds.org because we want to help our customers feel confident that the diamonds they purchase from us are legitimate and conflict-free.”

Years of war have plagued Angola, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, countries at the center of the conflict diamonds controversy (conflict diamonds are also called blood diamonds because of the violence associated with them).

The Kimberley Process was enacted in 2003 as a joint government, international diamond industry and civil society initiative to stem the international flow of conflict diamonds. Retailers in compliance with the initiative meet a certain set of criteria, know where their diamonds come from and have documentation that guarantees their diamond inventory is conflict-free.

By joining StopBloodDiamonds.org, DanforthDiamond.com joins a growing community of jewelers who are seriously committed to conflict-free diamonds. To become a member, DanforthDiamond.com was required to:

“The last thing you want is to look at a gift that is going to last you a lifetime and wonder if someone died so that you could have that diamond,” Renee says. “And at DanforthDiamond.com, you can buy any diamond in our inventory and enjoy it for a lifetime with a clear conscience.”
