Our values are deeply rooted in respect for the planet and its people.

Protecting Precious Lives

We believe that ethical responsibility means protecting both the materials we use and the natural world we share.
Title

Our commitment to ethical practices extends beyond responsible sourcing of metals. We believe in protecting and preserving the natural world, recognizing that all creatures deserve respect and care. Just as we avoid materials linked to illegal wildlife trade, we are dedicated to supporting organizations that actively safeguard vulnerable species.


That's why Ore Metals is proud to support the remarkable work of the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs. Founded by Chris "Brolga" Barns, the Sanctuary provides a safe haven for rescued orphaned baby and adult kangaroos across 188 acres. Their mission to educate and encourage the rescue and care of kangaroos and other wildlife resonates deeply with our own values.

As we continue to 
pioneer next generation jewellery products

Research, innovation and conservation are at the core of our mission. Our dedication to science & sustainability has established Ore Metals as a leader of ethical fine jewellery supplies. 

We continue to pioneer next-generation products that not only elevate the quality, durability, and brilliance of jewellery making materials, but also reflect our deep respect for the environment and the communities touched by our industry—

 

shaping a future where sustainable practices and artistry shine equally bright.

Sustainable & Ethical Metals

We are dedicated to providing our customers with the choice to create beautiful pieces with a clear conscience.
Title

At Ore Metals, ethical sourcing is more than just a principle—it’s a commitment. While we have long sourced gold and silver from LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) listed refiners, ensuring legal compliance and conflict-free supplies, we recognized the need to go further.

The LBMA standards, while incredibly important, do not provide traceability all the way back to the originating mine. This limitation spurred us to seek a more comprehensive and transparent approach. That's why we are pleased to announce our expansion into the Alliance of Responsible Mining (ARM) and Fairmined with the introduction of Fairmined gold & Fairmined silver within our catalogue.

 

By incorporating Fairmined gold and silver into our supply chain, 

Ore Metals is now able to offer our customers the latest in truly ethical sourcing and sustainable options. This alliance guarantees that the Fairmined collection of gold and silver we provide comes from artisanal and small-scale mining organizations that meet rigorous standards for environmental protection, social development, and responsible labour practices.
