Eco or fairtrade anyone?

6/7/2016

 
It's official, I am now working in Eco Silver...

​

My first order of EcoSilver has arrived and soon all my silver makes will be of EcoSilver wherever possible...Yay!  Of course I still have made-up jewellery designs available in standard Sterling Silver, so there will be a long transition period until all my available items are of EcoSilver only, but I will state whether a piece is made using EcoSilver stock.  In the meantime, you can ask me to make your custom item in EcoSilver, right now.

If that wasn't already enough good news, I can also offer the option to have your Gold designs made up in EcoGold, but it gets even better!.....I have registered with the Fairtrade Gold organisation so that I have access to purchase Fairtrade Gold stock to work with and can make up your custom design using Fairtrade Gold. Please note that I do not keep a supply of any gold in stock, I order to spec'.  I do not make gold designs speculatively to sell.....(yet, though I am considering it).... so you will not find me listed in the Fairtrade Goldsmith Finder, but I will provide receipts from the supplier as proof of purchase of your Fairtrade Gold.  Did you know that you can also buy Fairtrade Diamonds and Rubies in the UK? 

Another life exhibition - leeds craft centre & design gallery.
