New GLOBO Collection by Garavelli reflects the company's four generations of jewelry making experience and its mastery of the art of creating fine jewelry with Italian flair. GLOBO by Garavelli is crafted in ethically mined gold with gemstones. Garavelli, one of Italy's more renowned fine jewelry producers and GLOBO is their first eco-friendly collection. This hand-crafted line is a small step towards making a difference in worldwide efforts to safeguard our planet. The 18kt gold used in GLOBO by Garavelli was acquired from small-scale mines that are committed to avoiding the harsh environmental and social impact of industrial mining operations. The extraction of ethical gold ensures the livelihood of small artisanal mining communities in Argentina and Colombia, where the use of mercury, cyanide and arsenic is banned. By hand-crafting and purchasing jewelry in ethical gold, we all help dramatically reduce the impact of mining on the environment and support the development of communities in need. The new collection can be seen at Premiere/Luxury, salon 1212 as well as at JCK Prestige Promenade Salon 45. To schedule an appointment in advance, email garavelliusa@garavellialdo.it or call 1-866-GARAVELLI (1-866-427-2835). To learn more about GLOBO by Garavelli and ethical gold visit www.garavellialdo.com/ecoluxury.

The following is the Garavelli's statement on its web site on Ecoluxury: Conscience Ecoluxury--Our contribution to this growing movement of ethical sourcing of gold, is twofold: 1) We have decided to absorb the extra cost of the premium of eco-friendly gold, so that the consumer does not need to make a trade-off, but can choose a Jewel because it contributes to make this world a better place for all. (A Jewel with a Conscience=Ecoluxury). 2) We recognise that our role in business changes and we are a pioneer in the Italian jewellery industry to choose an ethical sourcing of gold. To support the development of this supply we have chosen to contribute a portion of our profits to Terres des Hommes. Garavelli has pledged a $1,000 donation benefitting humanitarian organization Terres des Hommes for each 100 GLOBO pieces sold worldwide. Consumers who choose Globo by Garavelli for their next jewelry purchase will therefore have the chance to be a an active participant in global charity projects.
