What is ecosilver?

Eco-silver is a green alternative to sterling silver. Though a bit more expensive it has the same silver content as sterling, but is made of 100% recycled and scrap silver products. Eco Silver can be both treated and worked with in the same way as silver, for the same quality results but is more environmentally friendly. Produced from scrap jewellery, medical equipment, electronics and giftware, all the eco silver I use comes with a certificate of authenticity and is hallmarked if it is the required weight.

Why do I use Fairtrade Gold?

• Because it’s a simple, flexible and cost-effective way to source the gold responsibly and with traceability – all through an international network that’s recognised and trusted by shoppers.

• It shows that I’m committed to supporting artisanal and small-scale miners to build a brighter future for themselves, their families and communities.

• Fairtrade certified mines must meet Fairtrade Standards on working conditions, the handling of chemicals, child labour and protecting the environment.

• Miners receive the Fairtrade Minimum Price for their gold, which acts as a safety net when prices fall, and the extra Fairtrade Premium to invest in improving their business and in community projects such as education, clean water and healthcare.
