The principles of ethical jewellery
Women and many men love beautiful jewellery, and none more so than jewellery created from precious metals and diamonds. Humans, unfortunately, are not always ethical and do not deal fairly with others.
That is why there are diamonds called conflict diamonds on the market. Conflict diamonds are mined unethically and the revenue from these diamonds are used to further the greed, strife and conflict of man.
Many mining operations around the world are also not conducting the best mining practises, which leads to exploitation of people and damage to the environment. Many consumers today have come to understand the unethical practices in the jewellery industry, and are asking for ethical jewellery - or fair trade jewellery as it is also known.
Principles
It is very important for us that all our clients understand that we only deal in ethical jewellery, thus we have incorporated a policy of complete transparency. We only use materials of which the original has been traced back to the source and we only deal work with fair production price producers. We form direct relations with the many producers so that any chances of exploitation are eliminated.
We only deal in certified diamonds to give our clients peace of mind that no diamond purchased from us will ever be a conflict diamond. What we offer our clients in every piece of jewellery we offer is the opportunity to own ethical jewellery that is also beautiful.
We combine the skills of a master goldsmith and designer with ethically produced materials to create jewellery that all our clients can wear with pride for its beauty and its peace of mind.
