Fair Trade Policy
Our Fair Trade Commitment
At Nature’s Gems, we believe that beautiful products should not only enrich your life but also contribute to the well-being of the talented artisans who create them. That’s why we are proud to source many of our items from partners who uphold high standards of ethical sourcing and fair trade practices.
Supporting Artisans Around the World
We work closely with small-scale producers from countries such as India, Nepal, Indonesia, and Thailand. By prioritising partnerships with artisans who use traditional skills and sustainable materials, we help preserve cultural heritage and promote economic self-sufficiency. Our commitment extends to ensuring these ethically sourced products find their way directly to you.
Principles We Stand By
Our partners operate under the 10 Principles of Fair Trade as defined by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). These principles include:
Fair Pricing and Payment: Ensuring that artisans receive fair compensation for their work is at the heart of what we do. We collaborate with suppliers who engage in open, respectful negotiations with producers, provide advance payments when needed, and pay in full promptly upon shipment to support their economic stability.
Sustainability and Environment: We are proud to source products created using environmentally friendly practices, such as the use of recycled materials and natural, azo-free dyes. This helps to minimise environmental impact and promote sustainability.
Empowering Marginalised Producers: We believe in supporting small-scale producers who may not have formal recognition but greatly benefit from fair trade practices. This empowerment helps artisans improve their living conditions and secure better futures for their communities.
Ethical and Beautiful
Each product you find on our site reflects our dedication to ethical sourcing. By choosing items from Nature’s Gems, you are supporting fair trade values, protecting the environment, and encouraging the craftsmanship of skilled artisans. We are committed to spreading awareness about fair trade and bringing you products that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
