Ethical & Fairtrade

Social and environmental responsibility are paramount in Amanda’s jewellery and practice.

• Commitment to responsible sourcing, traceable materials and ways of working, supporting UN sustainable development goals

  Fairtrade and Fairmined Gold: Amanda is proud to be one of the first licensees to use Fairtrade Gold, the pioneering and independent ethical certification system for this precious metal. Gold is a finite resource and is often extracted in perilous conditions for workers. Using Fairtrade Gold ensures that it is mined responsibly, ensuring the environment and people involved are treated with respect. If not using Fairtrade Gold, Amanda will source 100% certified recycled metals.

  Amanda’s Fairtrade and Fairmined registration numbers are: FLO Cert ID 27588, Fairmined ID GB30008. To learn more, please visit the Fairtrade UK and Fairmined websites.

  Responsibly sourced diamonds: all suppliers are independent, meaning the diamonds are fully traceable. Amanda uses natural, conflict-free diamonds from Canada or Australia, which use safe and fair mining practices. Alternatively, Amanda offers lab-grown diamonds by a company that is carbon neutral and ensures safe and fair working conditions for those involved in the supply chain.

  All gemstone and metal suppliers that Amanda uses have a strict commitment to transparency, ethical practices and social responsibility.

  Transparent making process: Making her jewellery from scratch, Amanda can share the process with you, taking photos to document each stage. For an example of the kind of documentation she is able to present, please visit this Instagram post and her Instagram profile

• Complimentary ring resizing in the first year

  Amanda will happily re-size any ring that you have commissioned or bought from her for free for the first year, so you can ensure the perfect fit.

• Lifetime repair service – fees where applicable

  Amanda wants to ensure your jewellery will last a lifetime. If you need any repairs or resizing after the first year, please get in touch, she will let you know what this might cost and can make the necessary repairs or alterations in her studio.

  Amanda is one of the founding members of Fair Luxury, a collective of industry leaders and professionals who aim to educate and champion ethical practice through events, their network and campaigns.
