Jewelry
The Earth has been mined to the core, often by mistreated laborers. Ease up a little bit by avoiding "virgin" gems and metals. Opt for second-hand and recycled materials whenever you can.
Something Old
How about a vintage ring to complement that heirloom wedding dress? Check out local antique malls for something that speaks to you--remember, you can always take it to a local jeweler to be resized and engraved.
Recycled Materials
Enter the search term "recycled" to reveal eco-awesome creations. You can narrow your search by location, too.

"Conflict-free diamonds are those gems which were not obtained due to human rights abuses, child labor, violence, or environmental degradation. Although the U.N.'s Kimberly Process only covers diamonds under the control of legitimate and recognized governments, conflict-free goes one step further by rejecting diamonds from governments that trade in diamonds to bankroll their conflicts."
