The terms ethical and sustainable tend to be used interchangeably. However, the words mean something completely independent of one another. The term "ethical" encompasses how a product is made, oftentimes focusing on the treatment of the workers. Unfair practices such as child labor and sweatshops fall under the umbrella of ethics. On the other hand, the term "sustainability" encompasses the effects that production has on the environment, such as how much waste is produced.
To summarize, while ethical jewelry refers to the humanistic rights of those that created the jewelry, sustainable jewelry refers to the environmental effect of the jewelry itself.
