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
nRecycling closes the loop—old wedding rings and industrial scraps yield 95 % recoverable tungsten. Brands like Tungsten Fusions use 70 % recycled carbide
nWater use: modern sintering cuts consumption 60 % vs. 2010. Energy? Solar-powered furnaces in Portugal test batches
nLook for Responsible Jewelry Council certification. Avoid "tungsten carbide" with vague origins. Price premium: 15–20 % for ethica

Your ring can fund schools (Rwanda’s program built 12 since 2022). Durability means one ring, one lifetime—ultimate sustainabilit
