Conflict Free


Conflict gemstones have funded devastating civil wars in Africa, ending millions of lives and are associated with human rights abuses including violence and worker exploitation, as well as environmental damage. Our suppliers have certified that all our gemstones and metals are conflict free.

In addition, we do not use gemstones or metals from countries known for animal rights abuses. Such countries include China, South Korea and Russia… There are no laws against animal cruelty in China. Dogs are inhumanely slaughtered for meat in China and South Korea. http://www.all-creatures.org/anex/dog.html

Jewelry made in China is also constantly being recalled for dangerous metals such as cadmium. Cadmium is attractive to Chinese manufacturers because it is cheap and easy to work with. But, like lead, it can hinder brain development in the very young, recent research shows.

If your jewelry isn't made in the USA, then it is probably made in China.



Earth-Friendly



At 4 Paws Forever, we believe in preserving our natural resources for future generations. From our recycled paw print tissue paper to our recycled packing peanuts, we make every attempt to be as efficient as possible.


We make all our jewelry here in the USA from eco-friendly gold or silver saving tons of raw waste polluting our environment (mostly overseas). (More information: http://www.nodirtygold.org/pubs/DirtyMetals.pdf) All our jewelry pieces are made to last from solid gold or silver versus the silver and gold plated pieces from China and India.




Our Collar Boxes are handmade from renewable cedar one box at a time.
The aromatic cedar naturally preserves the collar for years!



Most of our gifts are made from natural elements such as wood, silver and gold. Our 4 Paws Forever Memorial Picture Frame is made from renewable Natural Alder and is a great gift.
