Greg Valerio announced on twitter last week that he was to re-launch Valerio Jewellery after time spent away from the jewellery industry.

Valerio was a key figure in the creation of Fairtrade gold and was awarded an MBE in 2016 for services to Fairtrade Gold and artisanal gold mining communities in South America and Africa.

Through the business he created in 2003, CRED Jewellery, Valerio was a pioneer in bringing ethically sourced gold to the market and a vocal critic and activist within the jewellery industry.
