Leading UK casting houses embrace Fairtrade gold



Five of Britain’s leading casting houses have upped their offering of Fairtrade gold, in a UK push to ensure Fairtrade becomes a “systemic part of the jewellery industry offering”.

Jewellers can now buy everything from sheet, wire, casting grain, tube to chain from Cred, Cooksons, Hockley Mint, Vipa Designs and Western Beamor who are all offering some or all of their ranges Fairtrade gold.

The move ensures that everyone in the jewellery industry can contribute towards bringing about transformational change to disadvantaged artisanal mining communities and reform the way the jewellery industry works for the better.
