Wal-Mart Stores Inc is introducing a line of gold and silver jewelry that can be traced from mines and manufacturers that meet its environmental and human rights standards. A customer who buys the jewelry can log on to a website to see where their particular piece of jewelry was mined and learn about the suppliers' environmental programs.

As the largest retailer of jewelry in the world, we see an opportunity to bring more sustainable practices to this industry.

Hats off to Wal-Mart! Wal-Mart's move is definitely a baby step in the right direction. I hope other brand jewelers would recognize the need and follow Wal-Mart's footsteps that meet sustainability standards.
