This sweet pink pendant features handmade, certified Fairmined Eco gold. I crafted the chain from certified Fairmined gold, and the pendant showcases purple sapphires sourced from responsible mining.

It’s simple, elegant, and easy to wear.

Pink Sapphires

Most people know the classic cornflower blue sapphires, but did you know that sapphires come in a wide range of colours, including pink? You can find natural pink sapphires that add a soft, romantic touch to your jewellery. This sapphire comes from Malawi.

Fairmined vs. Fairmined Eco Gold

Fairmined is a non-profit organisation that supports small-scale artisanal mining communities. The two types of Fairmined gold are Fairmined and Fairmined Eco gold.

I source Fairmined Eco gold without using toxic chemicals like mercury or cyanide. This approach works because it comes from alluvial (open sky) mining. In contrast, regular Fairmined gold comes from underground mining, which may involve minimal cyanide use.

Both types of gold support the rehabilitation of local ecosystems. I track and trace the gold through the Fairmined Connect system, which ensures that I account for all purchased Fairmined gold, from mine to market. As a licensed jeweller, I must update this system twice a year to maintain my certification.
