Tutor & Ethical Goldsmith
​
Obtain a unique opportunity to make a viable plan with the invaluable help of a Goldsmith who has already taken the Ethical & Sustainable pathway for her small Jewellery business.
Why become an Ethical Jeweller?
​
Because today's environmentally savvy jewellery customers are seriously looking for more than just an “Ethical Jewellery” label to show how serious a brand is about their concerns for future of the Planet.
​
Customers are now interested in understanding;
How do you as a Jeweller take Ethical responsibility and how exactly is your Jewellery Ethical and Sustainable?
​
By providing discerning and environmentally aware customers with honest and genuinely credible provenance about your Jewellery practises and your supply chain decisions can give you a powerful sales edge, the potential to help make your brand become a serious contender in the selling and buying Ethical Jewellery phenomenon, and help you build likeminded customer loyalty.
​
By creating and implementing a credible Ethical and Sustainable Jewellery Business Blueprint plan you also have an important opportunity to make a difference and be one of many taking steps towards change.
Course Content
During your personal course consultancy with Anna, she will share her tips to help you create a blueprint for starting your own journey into Ethics and Sustainability practises and explain how to provide Ethical Practice provenance for your Jewellery to share with your customers.
You may not wish to undertake a B-Corp Certificate Assessment for your own jewellery business at this point, however Anna’s experience of their challenging ethical assessment programme will be extremely useful in helping you start creating your own Ethical plan of action, an Ethical and Sustainable blueprint for your future actions as a Jeweller.
