Fairmined Gold
RIVA is one of the few U.S. manufacturers offering chains, findings, and jewelry crafted from 100% certified Fairmined gold. Fairmined ensures ethical sourcing, fair wages, safer working conditions, and reduced environmental impact. Choosing Fairmined gold from RIVA means enjoying beautiful craftsmanship while supporting artisanal mining communities in South America.
Recycled Metals
Metals mining carries major environmental and social costs, from high energy use and emissions to human rights concerns and landscape damage. To create more sustainable jewelry, RIVA uses only recycled sterling silver from United Precious Metals, an SCS-certified supplier. Choosing recycled silver helps reduce our impact and supports a more sustainable future.
Mercury Free Mining
Global mercury pollution is a major threat, impacting communities worldwide because mercury never breaks down into a non-toxic form. RIVA Precision proudly supports the Mercury Free Mining Challenge, an initiative working to eliminate mercury from gold mining and offering a $1,000,000 prize for an affordable, environmentally safe gold-ore separation solution.
