The Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices
We were one of the first members of the Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices, and are still one of the only small retail companies to be full members - we're proud to be there next to Harry Winston on their membership list.
The Council's objective is to promote responsible ethical, social and environmental practices throughout the diamond and gold jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail, and they are putting together an audit process so that businesses in all parts of the supply chain can have their working practices independently verified. We hope to be one of the first companies in the UK to go through this process and to make sure our suppliers do too, so that the trust we place in them has an independent stamp of approval.
One of the great things the council is doing is co-ordinating everyone's efforts worldwide, so that we can collectively work out both what the most responsible way of acting is and how we can achieve it.
