Chichester and the UK’s leading fine jewellery company CRED is opening its doors for a triple celebration on the 9 May 2009 for; World Fair Trade Day, the launch of their new fair trade gold and platinum wedding collection and the chance to view their new interior boutique design.

The evening event starting at 6pm on the 9 May and will be open to everyone interested in hearing the amazing story of fair trade gold. English sparkling wine will be accompanied by a presentation on the fair trade jewellery story by their founder Greg Valerio.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a real Chichester success story. We have gained so many wonderful customers over the years from around the world and without their valuable support and belief, we would never have made this fairtrade gold story a reality”

With over 3000 certified fairtrade products available to the UK consumer, CRED has been at the forefront of making fairtrade gold a real consumer choice. All the gold in their boutique comes from small-scale mining coops who do not use mercury or cyanide in the extraction of the gold and deliver a comprehensive reforestation programme alongside the mining work. The jewellery buying public really can invest into the wellbeing of the planet as well as looking gorgeous.
