A curated look at what’s inspiring me lately—from local museum exhibitions to events that celebrate the intersection of history and craft.
The Nobel Peace Prize is choosy about what kind of gold the prize will be made of. Since 2014, that choice has been Fairmined certified gold. What is the significance of this choice?
The Nobel Peace Center explains, “The Fairmined certification assures that responsible working conditions and environmental considerations are adhered to.” To bring greater awareness to these pressing issues with their global ramifications, the Nobel Peace Prize elected to begin making its medal in Fairmined gold from 2014.
This means: mercury free and fully traceable directly to the mine. It means: fair labor practices and environmentally responsible production conditions can be assured. At last, pure gold, gold that is good through and through.
From the gold-rich lands of South America to the icy brilliance of the Arctic North, our Fairmined Americas Collection tells a story of sustainability and hope.
Handcrafted with ethically sourced Fairmined gold and traceable Canadamark diamonds, these jewels represent more than just beauty—they are a testament to a brighter future. Each piece shows what is possible…is a fusion of continents, carrying a message of harmony, sustainability, and a shared vision for our planet.
A gathering of titans from the gemstone world is happening now at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. Its latest exhibition, “100 Carats: Icons of the Gem World,” is running through April 21.
Each member of the cast is a whopping 100 carats or more. Ever wondered what it’s like to marvel at an Emerald the size of a Post-It note, or gaze into a diamond as substantial as an Easter egg? Now is your chance to rub shoulders with these superstars and feel their power.
