FAIR JEWELRY ACTION CHARTER MEMBERS
Here is a list of the leading companies in the jewelry world truly committed to ethical sourcing. The people in these businesses and civil society organizations could be considered pioneers in vision of jewelry that is not only beautiful, but creates a more just and environmentally sustainable world.
We encourage you to contact them, visit their websites and support their real efforts to bring authentic change to the jewelry sector.
