A-Z of Shopping FairTrade - 'Q' is for Quality

Fair Trade Produces Quality

Quite simply, when artisans know they receive a fair, living wage for their work, they can focus on their work, focus on creativity, focus on good materials, focus on quality.

Fair trade produces quality, breeds empowerment, fuels creativity and fosters respect and peace.

Jewellers employ a range of skills, from traditional, honed over the centuries, their designs reflecting local culture and environment, through to methods derived from the space programme.

Some artisans recycle local resources such as bone, quills and coconut shell, others work intricate designs in glass, ceramics, silver and semi-precious stones, and still others use space age technologies to produce stunningly beautiful dichroic glass jewellery.

However, it's not necessarily only the quality of the item we focus on, it is also the Quality of the experience our guests feel when they walk through our doors, the friendly greeting, the offering of coffee andthe helpful service that leads to the improvement in the QUALITY OF OUR PRODUCER'S LIVES. Which ultimately is why we do what we do and shoppers like you shop where you do.
