Fair Trade Jewellery Co. @ The Green Living Show April 23-25 16 April 2010

Join the Fair Trade Jewellery Co. @ The Green Living Show in Booth #232 Amongst the Eco Fashionistas.

This is our first show, and to be honest we're a little nervous. But the opportunity to showcase what we believe to be a pretty incredible company along side some of Canada's leading green organizations is pretty exciting.

So what exactly are we offering at the event?

We'll be available to discuss our design service(s), Fair Mined metals, FTJCo, and the communities we support. Just like our atelier we prefer personal interactions over speed dating and sales. If you'd would like to email info@ftjco.com we can also save a time to speak with you privately.
 
We will also introduce our *Clear™ brand. A collection of bridal & engagement rings we have sourced in recycled Gold, Platinum or Palladium. These rings are a responsible, affordable alternative to traditional metals for those customers not interested in custom work. 
 
*As part of our reinvestment mandate a percentage of all sales from our Clear™ branded rings will also benefit the Oro Verde™ program.
 
Need tickets give us a tweet @ftjco or email info@ftjco.com  Looking forward to meeting some new faces at the event!

The Last Gold Rush Documentary & Visit [Beta] 26 January 2010

We finally have our documentary out of the can & a new Visit [Beta] web application.

I am extremely excited to make two big announcements 

First. We finally have our documentary out of the can (as they say) and online! 

But before I share the link, a huge "thank-you!" to Michael Penney of After Light Films for all his hard work in shooting and editing this piece. This was a project of epic proportions and when I asked him to join me on my adventure in October of 2008 I don't think he knew what he was getting into. This will not be the last of our documentaries, with the support of friends like Amichoco, ARM, and FLO-Cert GmBH we hope to share both success and progress in creating a transparent, ethical jewellery supply chain(s).

Our second announcement is the launch of our  Visit [Beta]  application which allows customers to see when we're available for private appointments. Over the coming weeks and months we'll be adding greater functionality like a diamond search with 20,000+ Canadian Diamonds, educational resources, and product browsing. All to make the process of picking that perfect ethical ring a bit easier.

So without further adieu please enjoy 'The Last Gold Rush' here: http://blog.ftjco.com/about/
