Different ethical gems from Glasswing
Customers often what gemstones I can get that are ethically sourced, so I have just updated my website to include a list and I thought I'd post it here too for information.
Happily I can now source more gemstones than ever from ethical suppliers here in the UK and abroad. More and more are becoming available as suppliers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to be socially and environmentally responsible in the the way they do business.
If you’d like like to commission a ring, or other piece of jewellery and wish to incorporate a particular stone, I may well be able to source it for you.
So, below is a list of the stones available at the moment. If you don't see what you want, it is always worth dropping me a line through the contact page.
