In the world of jewellery, beauty and craftsmanship have always been paramount. However, as our awareness of global issues deepens, the importance of ethical practices in sourcing materials becomes undeniable. At Amber Cooper-Green, we are committed to ensuring that our creations are not only stunning but also ethically responsible. This commitment has led us to embrace Fairmined gold plating, a choice that reflects our values and dedication to sustainability.
Why Fairmined Gold?
Fairmined gold is more than just a certification; it is a movement towards responsible mining practices that prioritise environmental stewardship, fair wages, and social development. Partnering with D & M Platers, we have integrated Fairmined gold into our jewellery, ensuring that each piece is a testament to ethical craftsmanship.
The Role of D & M Platers
D & M Platers are pioneers in providing Fairmined gold plating services. Their commitment to quality and ethics aligns perfectly with our values. By choosing D & M Platers, we can guarantee that our gold plating is not only of the highest quality but also supports sustainable mining practices. According to their website, D & M Platers are dedicated to:
- Traceable and Transparent Sourcing:
Every gram of Fairmined gold they use is traceable back to responsible, certified mines. This transparency ensures that the gold we use in our jewellery supports miners who work under fair conditions.
- Environmental Protection:
Fairmined certification requires miners to adhere to strict environmental standards, reducing the ecological footprint of gold extraction.
- Community Development: A portion of the premium paid for Fairmined gold goes back to mining communities, funding healthcare, education, and infrastructure projects.
Impactful Statistics
The impact of Fairmined gold is significant. Here are some compelling statistics from D & M Platers that highlight the benefits of choosing Fairmined gold:
- Fair Wages:
Miners receive up to 15% more for their gold, ensuring fair compensation for their hard work and improving their quality of life.
- Environmental Responsibility:
Certified mines reduce the use of harmful chemicals by 90%, protecting local ecosystems and water supplies.
- Community Investment:
Each kilogram of Fairmined gold sold contributes approximately £3,200 to community development projects, fostering sustainable growth and development in mining regions.

By incorporating Fairmined gold plating into our collections, we offer our customers pieces that are not only beautiful but also ethically sound.
