This special exhibition was a groundbreaking opportunity to know who mined our gold and create a magical experience for attendees. We recreated a jungle scape at the consulate of Peru in which our jewelry creations were displayed. Attendees learned the story of the issues with mining, but also the solutions that we are working towards. I wanted to recreate that for you here.

The spirit of reciprocity is alive in the collaboration between Pure Earth field workers and the miners, as well as with the land. Pure Earth and the miners work to reforest the region, planting indigenous plants and researching the methods of how to properly plant them for the best outcome.  Since 2018, miners trained by Pure Earth have reforested approximately 8.4 hectares of land with the support of Pure Earth. 

For this exhibition, 13 designers have joined the miners in the spirit of Reciprocity to purchase material directly from them and encourage them to continue mining responsibly. Fellow members of the jewelry industry, as well as tech industries that use gold, are invited to join the movement in support of mercury-free mining in order to create the sustainable supply chain necessary for these miners to continue working in harmony with the planet. Jewelry lovers and collectors are invited to support the movement, spread the word, and purchase jewelry that has been mined without mercury, including our Reciprocity collection, and any of our pieces made with fairmined gold.
