Fairmined gold and silver jewellery
What is Fairmined gold and silver
traceable and certified
Fairmined gold and silver are certified precious metals from small-scale mines that meet strict standards for fair pay, safe working conditions, environmental protection, and full traceability.
Each gram is independently audited and traceable from mine to finished jewellery. Its origin is known and documented.
This is what defines ethical gold jewellery at a meaningful level. It can be proven.
Why traceable gold matters in jewellery
MEANT FOR MEANING
Most gold jewellery cannot be traced to its source. Once refined, metals are mixed and their origin is lost.
Traceable gold retains that link.
With Fairmined gold jewellery, you can identify where the gold came from and how it was produced. That level of transparency is what separates traceable jewellery from standard and recycled alternatives.
When origin is known, jewellery becomes more meaningful.
Fairmined vs recycled gold: what is the difference?
Fairmined is ethical 2.0
Recycled gold is often positioned as the ethical option. It reduces the need for new mining.
However, recycled gold has no defined origin. It may come from sources with unknown environmental or social impact. There is no direct link to improved mining practices.
There is only enough recycled gold for about a quarter of global demand.
Fairmined gold is newly mined and fully traceable. It comes from operations that meet strict requirements for safety, fair pay, and environmental management.
Fairmined is ethical 2.0.
Why Juraster works exclusively in Fairmined metals
Fairmined gold jewellery in the UK
Fairmined gold jewellery is still rare in the UK.
Most jewellery described as ethical or sustainable is not traceable to source and is not independently audited through the full supply chain.
Other licenced jewellery brands use Fairmined gold in a limited way, alongside conventional materials.
Juraster uses it exclusively.
Every piece is made in Fairmined gold or silver. This requires full segregation, certified partners, and a controlled supply chain from source to finished piece.
It took three years of trials with five successive workshops to build Juraster’s supply chain.
That's why Juraster is the only UK jewellery brand working exclusively in Fairmined gold and silver - a British pioneer.
Traceable from mine to finished piece
JURASTER'S 5 STEP SUPPLY CHAIN
1. The origins of Juraster's jewellery are two small‑scale, community run Fairmined‑certified mines:
• Silver from: Iquira, Columbia
2. Metals are sent to licensed Fairmined refiners in Bogota, Columbia
3. Refined metals are bought by licensed Fairmined bullion merchant in Europe
4. Juraster orders metals for small batch production by licensed workshop in Jaipur, India
5. Finished pieces quality checked then Edinburgh Assay Office tests metals standards, and stamps with Fairmined logo and full UK hallmarks
Verified impact
MINING FOR GOOD
• Fairmined certificate regulations ensure fair pay and safe working conditions
• Fairmined premiums support environmental restoration and community development
• Full documentation and audit trail from mine to finished piece
HOW RARE IS FAIRMINED GOLD AND SILVER?
11 MINES GLOBALLY
Currently there are only eleven Fairmined‑certified mines, globally.
ONLY 0.004%
Fairmined gold represents no more than 0.004% of the world’s gold, and Fairmined silver is even rarer.
EXTREME RARITY
That rarity is part of what makes Fairmined
metals so special.
Founder‑led standards
Experience behind the system
Jessica Cadzow‑Collins, founder of Juraster, has spent nearly four decades in fine jewellery, from Harrods and Asprey to Garrard and Chaumet.
A trained gemmologist, she built Juraster to set a new standard at both ends of the supply chain.
