Check out the latest additions of these ethically mined rubies from Tanzania (mined with miner’s welfare, ecology and environmental stewardship standards in place, of course!) What we love too about these rubies is that the mine also sponsors the  Ukwama Childrens’ Home & Orphanage and that the rubies are completely untreated and natural.

Prices from £550.

We loved the simple lines of our Angel ring and have also made this available with a diamond as an alternative (but these are very limited so don’t delay!).

The Fifi Flower ring is just darling; a daisy made of 7 gems. Choose from ruby or diamond (or contact us to discuss other gemstones available).

Heady, fragrant summer afternoons also brought pretty butterflies fluttering into our design office these past few weeks and the balmy breeze carried us away on thoughts of picnics, chilled champagne and these delicate creatures epitomising freedom. It just wouldnt be Fiif Bijoux not to share, so here it is (exclusively available online!), the Fiif B Butterfly! (£170)

This evening also saw a performance by another diva favourite of mine, none other than the lovely Annie Lennox.

I was lucky enough to meet Annie Lennox last year and she was utterly charming.

(We discussed the Fifi Bijoux ‘From Little Acorns’ project and the Shoe Box appeal launched in response to Marie Claire readers!). 

 Glad that her voice can still make me cry its so beautiful, and I know that she works hard to promote education for women and children with HIV in Africa.

As for my own ‘Forever’  fair trade diamonds, I’m delighted to introduce the result of the ultimate design challenge; my own ring! Sparkling round my little finger are:

 2 small Fair trade ethical diamonds mined in a women’s co-operative in Lesotho , cut and polished in a fair trade, co-operative workshop in Surat

1 Canadian ethical diamond in a Radiant square cut ( mined, cut and polished to highest assured and certified ethical standards)

2 little Scottish sapphires in Princess cuts, extremely rare indeed in a blue-green colour, cut and polished here in Scotland

Set in Fair Trade Platinum from Colombia and mounted on an 18ct Rose Fair trade Gold band,  from co-operative mine in Argentina.  All mined without mercury or cyanide, of course!

(I couldn’t leave anyone out! I work with such fabulous projects it was impossible not to have them almost all involved!).

Anyway, I’ve taken a snap for you! Here we are , ta- ra!  

More soon!
