Welcome Inside the Jewel Vault hosted by me, jeweller and gemmologist Jessica Cadzow-Collins, with a guest drawn from the great and the good from across the jewellery world.  Cristina Villegas, the globally respected Director of Mines to Market of Pact, shares her bright, gem-rich fantasy vault and describes what ethical jewellery means at a human level, ultimately choosing that one special treasure to keep safe forever.I hope you enjoy listening!Guest Bio: Cristina Villegas is a leading figure advancing good governance in the artisanal and small-scale mines to market sector.  About 20% of the diamonds and gold we buy and 80% of the sapphires are amongst the minerals mined informally by an estimated 45m people worldwide, some of whom earn less than $2 a day.  Whilst it’s a hugely important source of minerals and metals globally, it traps communities in a cycle of poverty.  Based in Washington DC, Cristina is Director of Mines to Market at Pact, a respected global NGO advancing development and sustainability and her projects range from mining safety in Indonesia, to child labour in gold mining in Columbia via many projects in African nations including the pioneering Moyo Gems women’s social enterprise in Tanzania.I do hope you enjoy listening!How about you?  What special treasures would you put into your fantasy jewel vault, and why?  Every so often I’ll compile your stories into a podcast of their own - so feel free to curate your own fantasy Jewel Vault and share with me by email.

Inside the Jewel Vault with Cristina Villegas

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) expert and activist Cristina Villegas joins the show from Washington, DC. The conversation starts with a discussion on how the world of ASM employs 40 million people globally, a third of which are women; as Cristina describes “in most cases they are rural villagers trying to make a living.” Cristina then provides the story of Moyo Gemstones, a successful colored gem mine-to-market collaboration that she spearheaded in Tanzania. Through Moyo, the miners, of which 60% are women, receive 95% of the export value of their stones, which compares to a range of 10-20% or less for typical ASM miners. Next, Paul and Cristina discuss the ASM Supply chain, how jewelers can properly source ethical gems and examples of large industry players, including De Beers and Swarovski, getting involved with ASM initiatives. Next, Christina passionately expresses her disappointment with Pandora’s recent move (and posturing) to only carry man-made diamonds. The episode concludes with Christina explaining why “sourcing small is beautiful” and how backing ASM initiatives can strengthen the diamond and gem industry and its reputation longer-term.
