CRED Ethical Jewellery To Inspire

 

by Deborah Miarkowska

Ethical and Fair Trade Jewellery is unique and truly special in many ways. 

CRED Jewellery is no exception and aims to  inspire and achieves this elegantly with a beautiful collection that has been certified as socially and environmetally responsible.

CRED Jewellery is the original Fair Trade jeweller and they do not make this claim lightly, but as pioneers they have pursued the dream of Fair Trade jewellery and brought it to reality. CRED were the first European retailer to sell independently certified Fair Trade gold and the first high street boutique to exclusively sell ethical jewellery. In 2003 they produced the world’s first truly ethical wedding rings, wedding bands made from gold from a traceable source that was certified as environmentally and socially responsible.

Greg Valerio, Founder of Cred Jewellery tells his story.

 “When I started CRED Jewellery in 1996 my desire was to create a jewellery company that had the principles of Fair Trade at its very heart, as well as satisfying my personal desire for beauty and wonder. These two simple ideas are intrinsically bound together, because beauty at its most intense is a reflection of the wonder in nature. Jewellery is the finest symbol of this when it is sourced with social and environmental integrity, capturing, creating and conveying this genius.

“It has been an amazing journey that has taken me to some of the remotest regions of our world, met some of the most extraordinary people and witnessed some of the best and the worst practices in mining. Human and indigenous rights, environmental justice and human creativity are at the heart of our Fair Trade company.
