Company

Fair Trade Jewellery Co.

Canada

In 2005 they noticed that the jewellery industry had largely ignored the social shifts of the past few decadeslike how much people are thinking of the environment and their impact on the earth in general. They realized that despite consumer demands for a more 'ethical' cup of coffee the issue of conflict minerals gold and diamond mining in luxury goods were largely unaddressed. They wanted to do things differently. So they started a new kind of jewellery company that would design and produce luxury goods that reflected the values they share with their customers. FTJCo is an inclusive company that combines ethically sourced finely and locally made jewellery in a judgment free environment. On February 14th 2011 FTJCo proudly became the first and only jeweller in North America to produce fine jewellery using Certified Fairtrade Fairmined Gold.
