About the Fairmined metals:
Fairmined silver is a by-product of gold extraction from the Fairmined certified mines and is therefore very rare. This silver goes through the exact same auditing process as Fairmined gold from mine to me to ensure full traceability at every stage throughout the supply chain and assures the miners fair pay. As a result Fairmined silver is more expensive per gram than recycled silver sources.
I have chosen Fairmined Ecological gold as the gold option for this collection as it is extracted and processed without the use of any toxic chemicals.
About the gemstones:
All of the gemstones in this collection are reclaimed from fellow independent jewellers, stone setters and bench workers. They are either stones removed from pieces from repairs and remodels, or stones accidentally scratched, chipped or broken during setting and subsequently discarded as waste. Each stone is entirely unique and resurrected in this collection to live and be loved again.
Protect all of your jewellery as much as you can from excessive heat, sunlight, sweat, swimming pools and chlorinated water, chemicals and cosmetics. The finish and patination of your jewellery will develop naturally as it's worn. They begin to take on a finish and character that is uniquely yours.
SKINS: blood, sweat & tears is made exclusively in Fairmined precious metals and reclaimed gemstones. An extension to my signature SKINS Collection featuring extraordinary layers, folds and textures created by the interaction and intervention of my skin against the material.
I use my body as the primary tool to directly form each piece leaving the imprint of my skin as it is created.
SKINS: blood, sweat & tears is dedicated to raising awareness of how precious materials come into being and the effect this has on people and the environment whilst supporting initiatives that actively make a positive economic, social and environmental impact in mining communities.
This collection seeks to create an intimate and meaningful human connection between producer, maker and wearer.
A portion of each piece sold will be donated to Humanitarian Aid Charities.
