The stunning sapphires featured in the Pleiades Collection are directly sourced and fully traceable to the women miners in Tanzania and imported to the US by Moyo Gems. The Moyo Gems team “works to empower women miners to work safely, mine better, improve financial security, and create stable, equitable markets for fair trade.”
Fairmined gold offers a conflict-free, transparent, and traceable supply chain. In 2018, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds became a Fairmined licensed brand to use her art as a way improve the lives and working conditions of artisanal small-scale miners around the world. Fairmined certification, through the Alliance for Responsible Mining, enforces strict standards for mining practices including ethical and sustainable methods protecting the health and well-being of the miners and the environment. The Fairmined gold used in the handcrafted elements in Michelle Pajak-Reynolds’s Pleiades Collection is imported into the US by Hoover & Strong via artisanal small-scale mines in Peru and Columbia. The Fairmined gold chains for the pendants are made by Riva Precision with gold sourced from Minera Oro Puno, a thriving 25-person mining community in Ananea, Peru.
