RAPAPORT... Three UK suppliers are collaborating on a one-day fair in
London that will feature only ethically sourced and traceable gemstones for
purchase by jewelry designers.
Stuart Pool of Nineteen48, Kathy
Chappell of Fair Trade Gemstones and Ian Bone of Queensland,
Australia-based Capricorn Gems will present stones at the March 13 event. All the goods on show will include full provenance
details, including an assurance of responsible mining and production.
“Having worked closely together for some time, this event is
a natural extension of our collaboration,” said Pool. “For jewelers who have an
emphasis on responsible sourcing, we think this is the best opportunity to see and
buy a wide range of traceable gemstones from around the world and to quiz us
about our supply chain and provenance face-to-face.”
Diamonds, sapphires, rubies and opals are among the
gemstones that will appear at the fair. The gems are sourced from locations including
Sri Lanka, Australia, Malawi, Tanzania and the US.
