PURE LOVE

Gold mining is without doubt one of the world's dirtiest industries: it uses cyanide, generates heaps of wastes, and leaves a long-lasting scar on landscapes and communities.

While the wedding ring as a symbol for love may indeed be priceless, the gold certainly is not. Gold is costing the planet and its peoples far more than the metal itself is worth.

I have therefore recently started importing and producing jewelery using "pure" gold from Oro Verde and it´s green gold program.

The Green Gold Corporation contributes to the wellbeing of the communities of the Biogeographic regions of Choco, through research and training processes, the promotion of alliances and productive systems and the sustainable use of natural resources.
