Although you will find many people claiming to sell ‘fairtrade’ jewellery online, Adrian, is one of relatively few genuine Fairtrade Foundation Registered Goldsmiths.

Fairtrade Certified Gold is the world's first independent ethical certification system for gold.
Fairtrade Gold is sourced exclusively from mines which meet the Fairtrade Gold Standard; an internationally recognised marker of best-practice. The Fairtrade Gold Standard includes strict requirements on working conditions, health and safety, handling chemicals, women’s rights, child labour and protection of the environment including water sources and forests.
Workers in Fairtrade certified gold mines receive a guaranteed Fairtrade Minimum Price for their product. Fairtrade certified mines are audited by FLOCERT to check they meet the Standard.

About Cultured Diamonds:

Cultured diamonds are real diamonds that have been grown in a laboratory.
In July 2018 the Federal Trade Commission ruled that lab-grown diamonds are indeed real, being of the exact chemical and physical properties as diamonds obtained by mining.
Cultured diamonds are not subject to the same environmental and ethical concerns associated with diamonds extracted from mines and make a wonderful alternative for the socially and environmentally conscious.

The diamond in this ring created by Madestones, whose diamonds are grown in a laboratory to the highest possible standards using the latest technology.
Madestone's facilities undergo the ‘SMETA’ audit, one of the most widely used ethical audit formats in the world. covering all aspects of corporate responsibility.
