luxe.zen, in partnership with Moyo Gems, PACT International and the Tanzanian Women Miner's Association, launched a mine-to-market raw gemstone jewelry collection that helps consumers purchase ethical pieces with confidence. With this new collection, the cutting-edge jeweler is challenging most jewelers, "who make ethical claims simply set stones in recycled gold, without addressing the social and environmental costs of the metal's origins," as described in a press release.
As a Fairmined gold and silver licensed brand, luxe.zen is taking its stance on ethical sourcing even further. Thanks to its new partnerships, the brand can now trace all materials from the mine to the customer. The transparent and affordable pieces also help to increase artisanal miners' income and spotlight the natural beauty of rough and imperfect stones.
