“Designing always begins when I meet the gems. Each stone, with its
magical and romantic story, inspires me and takes my breath away.”
Fair-Trade Gemstones
Fair Trade gems are stones that are closely tracked from mine to market to
ensure they have been handled according to a strict set of protocols.
These include environmental protections, fair labor practices, health and
safety standards and a tight chain of custody that eliminates the possibility
of treated gems or synthetics being introduced into the supply chain.
