BLADE is our newest collection of earrings made with gold from Uganda and recycled silver. We are a tiny social design entity in the heart of Reykjavik, Iceland, that create jewellery and other cool stuff. We try to make everything with respect for people and the environment, as in, if the product is not “better” in any way, we don’t make it.
The Edge BLADE earring is made from recycled Sterling Silver (925). The Edge BLADE earring is a part of the BLADE collection that is designed by Maria Panduro and Nina Knudsen and hand made in Reykjavik, (Árbær) by local craftsmen. The Edge BLADE earring is sold separately, because we seldom wear matching earrings. If you want a pair, then choose two items. The earring is 9 mm high with the MXIA makers mark engraved inside and is hallmarked appropriately (925).
We are trying to create our products in Fairmined Silver - but it is very scarce.
We hope you like the design of this earring.

The Star BLADE earring is available in 9 kt. fully traceable gold or recycled silver (925).
BLADE is a stark design for a gang that cares about fairness and the environment. We are based in Iceland and our products are hand-made by local craftsmen (in Árbær). The earring comes in a little drawstring bag and a black eco-friendly box. We would love to ship it to you wherever you are in the world.
The gold is from an ASM (Artisinal Small-Scale Mine) mine in Uganda called SAMA (Syanyonja Artisan Miners' Alliance). This is the first mine to be Fairtrade certified in Africa (2017).
The Edge BLADE Stærri earring is sold separately, because we seldom wear matching earrings. If you want a pair, then choose two items. The earring is 25 mm tall/high with the MXIA makers mark engraved inside. The earring is 9ct solid gold and hallmarked appropriately (375).
At this time, it is not possible to stamp our products with the fairtrade stamp in Iceland, but we’re working on legalities with the municipalities and government to make this possible in the future. Fairtrade gold means that the miners co-op has received the London Bullion price for the gold as well as a 5% premium for social development.
On treasure maps, the location of the hidden goods are typically marked with an X. That is why the ligature for MXIA Reykjavík is an X, emphasising the importance of traceability and transparency.
If you want solid gold jewellery, why not choose fully traceable gold because it really does make a difference for the miners and the environment (currently, Fairtrade gold is the only certification for traceability in gold). We believe that a natural resource like gold should fund the miners and the mining community (schools, workshops, wi-fi, sport facilities, etc.).
We hope you like the design and feel of this earring.

Regarding shipping:
We are still aiming to ship orders as normal, within 2-3 days. However, because we don´t always have all products on stock, we need to ask that you allow us some extra production and shipping time. Also, because of the pandemic, postal services all over the world are delayed due to tighter border controls and restrictions of movement, therefore exact times of arrival are tricky to predict. Many thanks for your understanding and a BIG thank you for your support. It means so much to us!

”I travelled to Snæfellsnes during the winter of 2017. I made my way down to Djúpalónssandur and in the twilight of evening I took this picture of the SNÆFELLSJÖKULL glacier. The light was blue and magical. The glacier was sharp and enchanting. With the onset of global warming, the glaciers are disappearing. A sad fact.” -Laufey Elíasdóttir

Miner Josephine Aguttu says that before Fairtrade came along, they were forgotten:
”The middlemen fear that when we are organised, it won’t be so easy to exploit us – that’s why we were so excited when we heard about Fairtrade. Before Fairtrade we were just dying in silence.”
