In many parts of the world gold is mined under diabolical conditions. Here is one link about this; http://af.reuters.com/article/metals...71827920110209 .

At present I can't see any source for lone artisan jewellers. How wold you have it certified and then present it to your customers? There is certainly scope for a rip-off.
