Our Fairtrade Gold

Our company is a leading pioneer in ethically sourced jewelry. Since June, 2015, we have been the only  Fairtrade Gold jeweler in the USA. As of 2018, all of our two tone gold over silver pendants, earrings, and bracelets have been made with this certified gold from ASM (artisanal and small-scale mining) operations in Peru.  

Additionally, many of our wedding rings can be made with Fairtrade Gold upon request.
