JEWELLERY...

...Have you ever thought about where it comes from?!


Greg Valerio; Founder of CRED Jewellery, Past Director of CRED Foundation and Co-Founder of Fair Jewellery Action has. This week he released his new book MAKING TROUBLE: Fighting for Fair Trade Jewellery which is both challenging and inpiring, walking you through his story of a fight for justice.

We stand on the shoulders of voiceless giants who anoint our rubies, sapphires, gold, silver, and diamonds with sweat born from their exploitation, and we casually pretend they do not exist.”- GREG VALERIO

"MAKING TROUBLE: FIGHTING FOR FAIR TRADE JEWELLERY is Greg’s inspiring, funny, shocking, serious, and touching autobiography that provokes OUTRAGE, and makes you THINK about any jewellery purchase you might have made but also what must be DONE. Above all, it is the compelling story of one impressive man’s life and work."



Take a look at the Fair Jewellery Action Website for more info or even give this inspiring book a read!
