Fairmined Ecological Gold
Fairmined certified gold comes from artisanal and small-scale mining organizations certified to the Fairmined standard. This certification guarantees that the gold has been extracted in harmony with nature, human dignity and sustainable development, contributing to the transformation of lives in these mining communities. Where regular Fairmined Gold is produced with responsible management and reduction of toxic chemicals like mercury and cyanide, miners producing Fairmined Ecological Gold do not use any toxic chemicals at all in their extraction processes.
As a Fairmined Licensee, we have the opportunity to guarantee complete physical traceability (separation of Fairmined gold from other gold sources) up to the final consumer under the strict product composition rules defined by the Fairmined standard.

Ethically Sourced Diamonds & Gemstones
Having ethically sourced diamonds means that the diamonds are obtained through responsible and fair practices that respect human rights, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of communities. This means that diamonds should not be obtained using child labor, forced labor, exploitation, environmental degradation, or other unethical means. Instead, ethically sourced diamonds are typically obtained through fair labor practices, responsible mining operations, and transparent supply chains that are committed to respecting human rights and preserving the environment.
Consumers who are concerned about the ethical sourcing of diamonds can look for certifications such as the Kimberley Process, which aims to prevent the trade of conflict diamonds, or the Responsible Jewelry Council, which sets standards for ethical and responsible practices in the jewelry industry. By choosing diamonds that are ethically sourced, consumers can help promote responsible and sustainable practices in the diamond industry and support a fairer and more equitable world.
If you are committed to ensuring that your diamonds and gemstones are ethically and responsibly sourced, then you're in the right place. At MORGVN, we proudly source only 100% natural diamonds that are sustainably sourced through ethically sound processes and mining companies that follow the Kimberly process.

Made in the USA
While we do partner with some independent designers who may manufacture overseas, MORGVN has made it a priority to design and produce all custom jewelry stateside. We believe this offers our clientele complete assurance of highest ethical standards as we support local and national craftsmanship.
