Over the past decade we have witnessed a `zeitgeist’ and
growing consumer awareness for greater levels of social, ethical
and environmental practices. Leading luxury brands are not only
embracing a `social conscience’ ideology but are embedding
these key `ethical’ ingredients into the production process and
DNA of their products, thus creating a `virtuous circle’ and triple
bottom-line of People, Planet, Profit.
We are proud of our unique RandPure™ certified responsible gold
initiative, which sets a new industry ̀ benchmark’ guaranteeing the
provenance and absolute Chain of Custody from `Ore to Store’.
This exciting initiative will position your company at the forefront
of the jewellery industry committed to promoting responsible,
