I was recommended by a friend to try out Cookson gold, and so I did and what a great find it is too. I've now ordered twice in the space of three weeks, the items were even better than on the website. The delivery is exceptional, the packaging is more than adequate. Thank you Cookson gold, I am never going to buy from anywhere else!!

Fairtrade - Background

The UK is one of the world’s leading Fairtrade markets, with more products and more awareness of Fairtrade than anywhere else in the world.

Sales of Fairtrade products soared by 40% in 2010 to an estimated retail value of £1170 million compared with £836 million in 2009.

UK shoppers are continuing to embrace Fairtrade, showing their commitment to ethical values despite the tough economic times.

In 2011, Cookson Precious Metals became a FLO-CERT registered supplier of certified Fairtrade and Fairmined gold.

Why Offer Fairtrade and Fairmined Gold

With jewellery it's the thought that counts. Research reveals that people buying jewellery for a special occasion holds greater value and significance if it carries the Fairtrade and Fairmined Marks*.

Consumer concerns about gold have been linked to the growing trend for fairly traded or ethically sourced products. Reports show that a third of consumers would choose to shop at stores that were concerned about how their gold is produced, while a quarter said they would buy Fairtrade and Fairmined gold even if it meant paying more**.

The Fairtrade and Fairmined dual stamp on products gives assurance to retailers and consumers that miners in the developing world are getting a fair deal for their work.
