Ethical Jewellery
Ethical Jewellery is central to the evolving values-driven landscape of the UK jewellery trade. UK consumers increasingly demand products that respect people and the planet, while retailers, designers, and suppliers face rising pressure to demonstrate responsible practices. Jewellery Focus offers professional coverage of this critical area—spanning certifications (Fairtrade, RJC, Responsible Jewellery Council), traceability frameworks, sustainable materials, ethical sourcing, and brand-led initiatives. We explore business models that merge profit with purpose, spotlight regulatory developments, and share case studies of trade players leading in responsible luxury. Our insights empower professionals to integrate ethics into their value chains, differentiate their offerings, and meet growing market expectations.
