The Pure Earth collection of responsible jewelry, presented by Colombian actress, model, and philanthropist Taliana Vargas (most recently seen in Netflix’s Narcos), featuring works created by over 30 leading jewelry designers, is now closed.  Thank you for your support.

Funds raised will support Pure Earth’s work around the world to clean up pollution, including efforts to teach artisanal gold miners to go mercury free.

“I am so grateful to my friends in the industry, including Pili Restrepo, who brought me onto this wonderful project, and all the participating designers, for creating beautiful pieces with gold sourced in responsible ways. Join us to make a statement and a difference in a beautiful way.” — Taliana Vargas

Participating designers created their pieces using responsibly-sourced materials, including mercury-free gold, and Fairmined gold donated by gold refinery Hoover and Strong, above ground diamonds donated by Diamond Foundry, and post-consumer gems donated by Perpetuum Jewels.

This is the 3rd special collection curated by Pure Earth.
