The day has come, you’re thinking about how to propose to the person of your dreams! One of the first things that come to mind, is the ring. Depending on your future fiancé expensive and massive is not always the best option. Do not overthink it, go with what you know. You know your partner better than anyone, choose the ring that best represents them.

Personally, I never even thought of jewelry being vegan. It wasn’t an animal product nor did it contain any, so how could it be vegan? Ethical value is one of the answers I found when doing my research. To think in some cases a child had to endure slavery/harsh conditions for well under minimum wage or no wage to produce jewelry doesn’t sit well with me. 

There are plenty of jewelry sources, not just rings, but a variety of beautiful pieces of jewelry that are extremely affordable and look similar to ones you can find elsewhere that are not ethical conscious.
