Fair trade is just as important in the production of jewellery and gemstones as in other areas - it guarantees a fair price for third world producers."Fairtrade" is a protected mark - for more information, see the Fairtrade Foundation (www.fairtrade.org.uk).Any goods that are described as "fair trade" mean, in practice, that the individual and / or company that produced the goods have been paid a fair price for it; that working conditions and environments are "favourable" to the individuals; that there is an established long-term relationship with the production company; and that social and environmental concerns have been considered.Since the film "Blood Diamonds" shocked the Western world, there has been an increased interest in the origins of precious stones and metals.
