From empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations to your jewellery box.

Created by the non-profit organization Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), the Fairmined Initiative is a label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations. The standard includes formal and legal mining operations, environmental protection, labor conditions, traceability of Fairmined minerals, and socio-economic development. It seduced many fine jewellery brands worldwide as you can see on this map compiling all the certified fairmined jeweller.

Some go even further and commit to sustainable gold. Amalena’s collection is composed of 18-carat eco-gold, which extraction techniques are 100% free from mercury, cyanide or any other harsh chemicals and rely on gravimetric methods instead.
