That is some things that all the Jewel industry and Designers must understand and do somethings about it
But if we don’t use anymore precious stones we cant improve the situation, we have to arrive to use Precious Stones like the Fairtrade Gold
To respect Human Rights and really the Environment generate more Democracy and Freedom and this will can come from the source of the Jewel creation also
I know I’m late for your Meeting
Anyway A lot of Love to what are you doing and To you of course !!

Thank you for the passion that you bring to fair trade gold and the jewellery industry.
Since Vipa is (currently) one step removed from the consumer, this year has mostly been one of watching and waiting; helping many of the fairtrade jewellery designers to bring their collections to life, and then waiting to see what the reponse is like.
So far it seems that the majority of the demand has been from conscious consumers making a decision to buy fair trade product for a significant moment in their lives, whether it be a marriage or something else.
It has been exciting to hear the response that our customers are getting as they deliver the fair trade gold message; hopefully this year will see a continued spreading of that message, reaching beyond committed fair trade advocates and in to the main stream of consumer thinking and spending.
Yesterday we got our first delivery of gold direct from Oro Verde. It really is inspiring to think about what that ingot of gold is doing to empower a community to make a difference to their own lives and to the community around them.

I’m trying to source an ethical gemstone engagement ring and never realised quite how difficult it would be. This article is really insightful. Thanks again.
