What is Fairmined Gold?

The Mission

Gold with a Fairmined certification means it has been extracted at the highest level of responsible mining. Established in 2007, Fairmined is part of the Sustainable Mines Program, which aims to support the economic development of small-scale mining without causing environmental damage. Since Fairmined gold comes from small-scale artisanal mines, it is completely traceable.

The Connection

Specific Gravity stands behind Fairmined gold because it is an investment toward an eco-conscious, humane, and sustainable approach to mining. We believe strongly in maintaining the well-being of the community as well as the environment, because the two are inherently interconnected. 

The Involvement

We encourage buyers to invest in pieces that take a stand against environmental negligence and sacrifice the wellbeing of those who work directly with these materials. When purchasing Fairmined Gold, you’re advocating for fair wages, healthy conditions and healthcare for miners. Investing in a Farmined piece from Specific Gravity is the first step at making a critical impact towards a cleaner future for gold, and a mindful future for fine jewelry.
