Recycled precious metals and Donna Distefano Ltd are one in the same. It has been
committed to using recycled precious metal. That’s for more than 15 years. She’s
always looking for ways to minimize the impact of goldsmithing on the planet.

Moreover [Distefano](https://donnadistefano.com/) chooses to use pure [gold](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/green-living-retail-jeweler-with-third-party-certification-of-recycled-gold-wedding-and-engagement-rings/)
supplied by refiners rather than miners. That means Donna can then create custom
high-karat gold alloys herself.

#### “Mining creates literally tons of environmental waste”, says Distefano.

As we know, there is plenty of gold. I mean already in circulation. So that’s why
I use recycled gold; as well as recycled precious metals. It’s so we can diminish
our impact on the environment. I mean just a little bit more.[⌊Donna distefano⌉](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/about_2.jpg?quality=52&ssl=1)

In addition, Stephanie March Is a Supporter of Donna Distefano.

Donna also began incorporating charitable donations as a core value of her business.
That’s back in 1996 by designing and marketing a rosary.  It’s called Truth for 
God s Love We Deliver.

program. That’s by hosting events for Women for Women International. In addition,
the Environmental Defense Fund and OneKid OneWorld.

By donating jewelry for fundraisers, hosting events in her [New York City](https://greenlivingguy.com/2024/04/new-york-city-leading-the-way-in-sustainable-living/)
