Sustainable 1.4 ct. Emerald Pendant Necklace To Be Given Away

(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) January 15, 2010 - C5 company, a leader in sustainable fine jewelry, announced this week that they will be giving away a gorgeous emerald necklace with a retail value of $1000 to one lucky Facebook fan.

In an industry with a long history of social and environmental devastation, C5 company stands apart. Founded in 2008 as a custom jewelry company, C5 has quickly gained positioning as a leader in the sustainable jewelry space. All of their jewelry is made with reclaimed precious metals and ethically sourced gems - both fair-trade mined and lab-created.

Lab-created gems, such as the 1.4 emerald featured in the pendant that is part of the C5 promotion, are chemically, physically and optically identical to their mined counterparts. However, unlike mined emeralds, the rich green color of the gem is inherent in the growth process. Perhaps even more appealing to conscious consumers is the fact that lab-created gems are not marked by the same degree of negative impact as those that have been harvested from the earth.

The emerald pendant, which hangs from a 16" 14 karat gold chain, will be raffled on February 28, 2010 if C5 can attract 500 fans on Facebook by that date.
