Aquamarines
The word aquamarine is derived from the word for seawater in Latin. In ancient times aquamarine crystals or gemstones were said to calm the sea and protect sailors at sea. Aquamarines can vary in colour from greeny-blue to pale blue. These aquamarines are mine-to-market and originate from Brazil.
What is Fairmined Silver?
Fairmined silver is very rare. This is due to the fact that there are no fair or responsible silver mines in the world. So where does Fairmined silver come from? It is actually a bi-product from the certified Fairmined gold mines in Colombia. For every kilo of gold mined, there can be approximately 125 grams of silver, therefore Fairmined silver is very precious.
