Fairmined Gold & Silver
Gold to be proud of…
‘By buying Fairmined gold you help us to improve our methods, protect the environment and improve our performance in social responsibility’. Rose Reyes, Peru Mine Manager
At KIND Collection, we are proud to exclusively use ethically sourced materials, from a number of wonderful global suppliers. When it comes to metals, we work with either recycled or Fairmined gold + silver, to ensure its authenticity.
Our jewellery designs are made with two considerations in mind — our planet, and those we share it with. As a result, sourcing ethically mined materials is so important to us, which is why we choose to work with Fairmined for all bespoke jewellery, wedding pieces and engagement rings!
KIND founder – Tansy Haak, uses certified Fairmined gold for a number of reasons, one of which is the metals traceability. Every Fairmined piece is hallmarked with their logo, so it can be traced back to the mine that it was originally sourced from. This means you can be guaranteed that your jewellery has not had a negative impact on our environment and community. Supporting Fairmined means we can work together to improve the conditions and environmental practices of mines around the world.
The Community
Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold and silver from artisan mining organisations. Their aim is to promote and embrace responsible practices, and transform mining into a force for good. As part of their focus to create a safer and fairer workplace, Fairmined raises awareness around the regulations in the mining sector, which will make the industry more conscious about the positive impact that their support can generate.
The Fairmined Standard promotes the well-being of workers throughout the entire supply chain, by ensuring;
The right working conditions
Regular health and safety checks
Fair wages and working hours
No child labor
Fairmined also gives back to the mining communities by hiring local workers, and re-investing funds into social projects such as schools and housing.
The Environment
In addition to the above mentioned social initiatives, Fairmined also supports the planet by implementing mining practices that guarantees environmental protection.
The Fairmined Standard promotes the preservation of our environment, by ensuring;
Reducing and eliminating the use of harsh chemicals in the extraction process
Protecting the water supplies
Reforestation
Adequate waste management
Overall environmental awareness
When you put all of these initiatives together, you can see why Fairmined materials are 100% guilt-free! If you are looking to create a modern heirloom, an eco-friendly wedding ring, or a special piece of jewellery, you can feel great about it, knowing that your purchase has had a positive impact on our planet, and the community.
