Sustainable & Ethical Metals for Jewellery Making
Our commitment to ethical practices extends beyond responsible sourcing of metals. We believe in protecting and preserving the natural world, recognizing that all people, lands and creatures deserve respect and care.
At Ore Metals, ethical sourcing is more than just a principle—it’s a commitment. While we have long sourced gold and silver from LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) listed refiners, ensuring legal compliance and conflict-free supplies, we recognized the need to go further.
The LBMA standards, while incredibly important, do not provide traceability all the way back to the originating mine. This limitation spurred us to seek a more comprehensive and transparent approach. That's why we are pleased to announce our expansion into the Alliance of Responsible Mining (ARM) and Fairmined with the introduction of Fairmined gold & Fairmined silver within our catalogue. By incorporating Fairmined gold and silver into our supply chain, Ore Metals is now able to offer our customers the latest in truly ethical sourcing and sustainable options. This alliance guarantees that the Fairmined collection of gold and silver we provide comes from artisanal and small-scale mining organizations that meet rigorous standards for environmental protection, social development, and responsible labour practices.
Research, innovation and conservation are at the core of our mission. Our dedication to science & sustainability has established Ore Metals as a leader of ethical fine jewellery supplies.
We continue to pioneer next-generation products that not only elevate the quality, durability, and brilliance of jewellery making materials, but also reflect our deep respect for the environment and the communities touched by our industry— shaping a future where sustainable practices and artistry shine equally bright.
Beginnings in engineering and die-casting before transitioning into precious metals has given Ore Metals a market advantage in our exceptional manufacturing quality and industry innovations.
