Connection

Ethical Metalsmiths connects caring consumers with responsible jewelers.  We have a database of jewelers who work diligently to make jewelry which leaves as little environmental trace as possible. 

Action

Better Without Mercury, a one-of-a-kind opportunity, invites you to chip in to make the Fairmined certified Gualconda Mine entirely mercury free.

 

Our Vision: We envision a jewelry industry where a beautiful product does not bear a human or environmental toll

THE AMAZING @crjconference features yet another AMAZING initiative: #Repost @crjconference with @get_repost ・・・ Using data from the Just Gold project, Joanne Lebert and Kesha Frank will illustrate the impact of gold mining on social, gender, and environmental issues. How many people can gold educate? How many can it feed? What are the risks of mining gold? What are the demographics of the miners? How can gold mining be used to incentivize positive social and environmental action? The data from the Just Gold project tells a story. In this session, the speakers will tell that story and help participants understand the real world impact of the gold we mine, buy, and sell. Just one of many exciting sessions at this years conference! Tickets still available!!
