Description
Sapphire Pendant
This sweet pink pendant features handmade, certified Fairmined silver. The 40 cm chain is not certified Fairmined silver because there is so little demand for Fairmined silver chains, that they do not exist. However, the pendant and catch are handmade in Fairmined silver and feature a heated green sapphire sourced from responsible mining in Australia.
It’s simple, elegant, and easy to wear.

Sapphires
Most people know the classic cornflower blue sapphires, but did you know that sapphires come in a wide range of natural colours, including green? You can find green sapphires that add a fresh, spring touch to your jewellery. This sapphire comes from Australia.
What are heat-treated Sapphires? Heat treatment enhances the sapphire’s colour, removes colour zoning, and improves clarity. Some heat treatment procedures are relatively mild, involving temperatures of about 400 degrees Celsius for brief periods.
Fairmined Silver
Unlike silver mined on a large industrial scale, Fairmined silver is not the primary focus of these operations. It’s collected during the extraction and processing of Fairmined gold, making its supply limited and exclusive. practices. By utilising silver as a by-product, Fairmined operations maximise the use of mined materials, reducing waste and increasing the efficiency of their processes. This contributes further to their sustainability goals.
