Brand new ethical jeweller launchesSeptember 7, 2007
We've teamed up with brand new ethical jeweller Ingle & Rhode and we give them our wholehearted support as they launch their range of beautiful, design-led eco jewellery, with its socially and environmentally responsible sourcing and production policies. The launch of Ingle & Rhode is another step in the right direction for an industry fraught with exploitation and controversy and we welcome their efforts to reduce the three main problems facing the jewellery industry: human exploitation, conflict diamonds, and environmental damage. Through painstaking research, Ingle & Rhode have put together a supply chain that guarantees clients can trace the provenance of all metals and gemstones used. Ingle & Rhode sources only from mines that have procedures in place to minimise the environmental impact of its activities. As supporters of the No Dirty Gold campaign, they only buy gold from sources that do not use mercury or cyanide in the mining process.
Alongside their own in-house collection of timeless pieces, the company has collaborated with four of the UK’s leading designers, Sarah Sheridan, Kimberley Selwood, Jana Rainhardt and Stephanie Ray. Using gorgeous precious metals and sparkling gemstones the range caters for an eclectic array of tastes offering striking, delicate, playful and glamorous styles. They also offer a bespoke jewellery service so, if you want, you can create your own unique pieces that match your ethical standards and personal sense of style. Go on, make a appointment and get along to their newly opened showroom in Piccadilly to check out what they've got. Their website is due to go live in the next few days so check back soon to see their range on line. |
