It is really vital that we raise the profile of ethical issues within the jewellery industry and for taking part in this I thank you. I have just completed extensive research in Bolivia and California into sustainable mining practices. I have also been investigating the labelling of fair trade metals; at this point there are no certified fair trade metals (PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUY...). I have found a source of gold in California which is found in the riverbed and not mined. Please check out what we are doing (www.pollywithecombejewellery.com) and let us know what you think!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524311099088565208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788703643468856508.post-76691462398510760892007-10-21T02:24:00.000+01:002007-10-21T02:24:00.000+01:00Oh, and I love the fact that you refer to him as t...Oh, and I love the fact that you refer to him as the Overgrown Antipodean.

Apart from bloood diamonds, nasty tailings dams and that enormous Bolivian mine that turned a mountain into a hole, I hadn't actually thought about the ethical aspects of jewellery before!redcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916750858980883634noreply@blogger.com
