Fair Trade gold is on its way!

 

I'm excited to announce that our first order of gold mined under fair trade principles is on its way.

We have been able to buy some 18 carat white and yellow gold from a project in the High Andes, which is in the process of acquiring Fair Trade certification, and seems to be doing all the right things in terms of not using chemicals to extract the gold, making sure workers are working safely and being paid living wages.

We have also bought some beautiful fair trade gemstones - some tourmalines, sapphires and amethysts in really beautiful colours. There is also the option of recycled diamonds, for which no new mining has to take place.

Come talk to us to find out more about the projects we're buying from and about getting your ring made with these beautiful materials.
