A completely ethical engagement ring option. Why Fairtrade and not just recycled? There are many reasons. Current statistics are showing that despite the current trend towards recycled gold, there is still little decline in the mining of new gold. Gold mining in many countries is done on a very small scale, however the results can be devastating for the environment with toxic chemicals being introduced into the water table. 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.
