Podcast: Responsibly Sourcing Colored Gemstones with Eric Braunwart
Responsibly Sourcing Colored Gemstones
with Eric Braunwart
Airdate: April 4, 2022
No official certifications currently exist for responsibly sourced colored stones—so Eric Braunwart, president of Columbia Gem House, created his own system to provide his customers with the origin story of each gem.
In this podcast, Braunwart—a longtime leader in responsible practices—tells his own story in selling colored stones, promoting responsibility and sustainability, and advocating for improvements to the jewelry supply chain.
