WHAT IS FAIRMINED GOLD?
Fairmined gold is a certification standard for gold that has been mined and produced in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. It was created by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) in 2014 to provide a way for artisanal and small-scale miners to sell their gold on the international market at a fair price.
The Fairmined certification requires that miners follow strict environmental and social standards, including using safe and responsible mining practices, providing fair working conditions, protecting the rights of women and indigenous people, and investing in community development projects.
By purchasing Fairmined gold, consumers can support responsible mining practices and help improve the lives of small-scale miners and their communities. The certification also promotes transparency and traceability in the gold supply chain, ensuring that the gold can be traced back to its source and that its production has not contributed to environmental degradation or human rights abuses.
ABOUT SAPPHIRES
Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum, which is an aluminum oxide. It is the same mineral as ruby, but the red color in ruby is caused by trace amounts of chromium. They are typically blue in color, but they can also come in a range of other colors such as pink, yellow, green, orange, purple, and even colorless. Sapphires are found in many countries around the world, including Sri Lanka, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Madagascar, and the United States.
The most famous sapphires come from the Kashmir region in northern India. These sapphires are known for their intense velvety-blue color and are considered some of the finest in the world.
Sapphires are the birthstone for the month of September and are also traditionally given as a gift for 45th wedding anniversaries.
Sapphires are a popular choice for engagement rings because they are durable and can withstand everyday wear and tear. They are also said to symbolize loyalty, sincerity, and faithfulness.
The largest sapphire ever found is the Star of Adam, which was discovered in Sri Lanka in 2015. It weighs 1,404 carats and is estimated to be worth up to $300 million.
Sapphires have been used for centuries for their supposed healing properties. They were believed to protect the wearer from evil and harm, cure eye diseases, and promote good health and wisdom.
In ancient times, sapphires were associated with the planet Saturn and were thought to bring good fortune to those born under its influence.
Sapphires are often heat-treated to enhance their color and clarity. This is a common practice in the gemstone industry and is accepted as a standard treatment.
