This is your opportunity to contribute to the marginalised indigenous people of Gilgit-Baltistan. Once we generate a decent demand, we will be able to expand this work and will be able to help more people. Ethical Trade brings to you rare gems and jewellery from the spectacular high mountains of Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindukush mountain ranges in the region of Gilgit-Baltistan, a Shangri-La referred to as ‘heaven on earth’. Importing directly from miners and local crafts, we are able to support and encourage local industry. Although most of our jewellery is in the original design, some have been re-crafted by local artists here in New Zealand. The goal of Ethical Trade New Zealand is to facilitate indigenous communities of Gilgit-Baltistan to improve their livelihoods through the Ethical Trade concept. We are hoping to cut the middleman and import directly from the miners and local craft shops. In this way, we are able/determine to return values to the local people in the region of Gilgit-Baltistan. We aim to improve livelihood through ethical Trade and return values to the area where these gemstones are found or crafted. Ethical Trade provides a platform for creative artists to share their talent and stories. Please contact us if you can add value to some of our products, and we are happy to collaborate and work together.
