A few months ago a rising star in the world of jewellery, especially jewellery with a history,
has come to our attention. It is with great pleasure that we highlight the work of our feature
jeweller/designer: Zoe Pook.

Zoe is not only a talented, but appreciates the world of ethical sourcing, and the unique
opportunities that ORIGIN AUSTRALIA diamonds and FAIRTRADE GOLD in combination,
offers her clients.

Here are two beautiful designs, each inspired by beautiful stories…

“The design is taken from a cairn (those pebble towers / stupas etc..)  I was in Cornwall
recently and there is a tradition to carry a small pebble to the top of a mountain / hill
when you climb up and place it on top of the rest. It's an ancient and beautiful tradition
and in fact is possibly what gave Cornwall (Kernow) in Celtic its name, as they are everywhere! “

“I thought I'd attach some pics of a ring I just did with one of your Origin Australia cognacs too. 
18ct Fairtrade Rose Gold (the first one in Australia!) and a cognac diamond and small whites
also from ORIGIN AUSTRALIA.

here is a message from Zoe about her unique choices and work:

I wanted to share an exciting development in the ethical sourcing of gold in Australia.

"For the very first time in Australia and exclusive to Zoe Pook Jewellery is Fairtrade
Certified Gold. To celebrate this exciting development in the availability and credibility
of ethical gold, today,

Zoe Pook launched Australia’s first Fairtrade Gold Collection of engagement rings,
complete with Australian diamonds and ethically sourced gems."

I'm super proud to be the only jeweller offering Fairtrade Certified Gold and am
very excited about the new collection.

I have re-branded the website too, so for all the pictures of the collection and
information about Fairtrade Certified Gold have a look at: www.zoepook.com

I've also attached the link to the Fairtrade Australia website with a great article about
the gold.
