Coverage includes the story of Queen Letizia of Spain wearing our Filigree Links cuff bangle (2018); an exploration into the ways independent designers like us are working to make the jewellery industry more sustainable (2018); and a shoutout to our Altairengagement ring in a recent round-up of ethical engagement rings (2022).
The National Association of Jewellers is at the heart of the UK jewellery industry and its widely circulated magazine, The Jeweller,has repeatedly served as a platform for Arabel to share her specialist knowledge of ethical jewellery with the world.
