Forget how many carats — how ethical is your gold? As high-end consumers demand to know the origin of their treasures, some jewellers are ensuring they use responsibly sourced, eco-friendly or recycled gold.
Among the many certificates and standards claiming to codify “responsible” goldmining, two labels stand out. Such production remains limited — just a few hundred kilograms annually. Global gold output by comparison totals around 3,300 tonnes.Concerned jewellers are keen to ensure they can trace the source of their entire supply to an ethical production cycle and to firms certified by the not-for-profit Responsible Jewellery Council, which has developed norms for the entire supply chain.
“We are trying to maximise the proportion of Fairmined and Fairtrade gold — but their modest production is in great demand so the bulk of our sourcing remains recycled gold, certified ‘RJC Chain of Custody’,” says Claire Piroddi, sustainability manager for Kering’s jewellery and watches. Going a step further, using only precious metal from electronic or industrial waste is an original idea developed by Courbet, a brand launched just last spring.
“Studios such as ours that work for major names on Place Vendome are all certified,” Lemaire says, referring to an upscale square in Paris.

Africa's news leader.The President of the African Development Bank has called on the United States to up its investment game in Africa as he made the case for the world’s largest economy to look beyond traditional sectors on the continent. Oh so now they want investment but they blame the 'west' for or the problems in africa Really? Why not African countries? One thing that realDonaldTrump does best and I like him for is inward economic development. _AfricanUnion should encouraging Africans to invest in themselves than calling for investment elsewhere. Copy realDonaldTrump policies and prosper. 😭😭😭 It this coming from the president of the highest instution in Africa😭😭 instead of calling on US. Africa should create an environment conjusive to grow their own investments and also create opportunities for its locals to be able to partner US on equal opportunities. 🙏
