The gold in the MXIA X bracelet comes from a Fairtrade certified mine in Peru. The X is a 10mm cross that is also the MXIA mark. The bracelet is 18ct solid gold, hallmarked 750, Fairtrade certified and stamped with the Fairtrade logo. It is also marked with MXIA´s brand tag for quality purposes and an International convention mark. The X symbol is made up of two triangles (primary art elements) and symbolises sexual equality.

On treasure maps (either historic or from children’s bed time stories), the location of the gold is often marked with an X or cross. Isn’t it quite fun, that the mark for MXIA is a X or cross, marking the location of gold?

If you love solid gold jewellery, help make a difference in the gold industry by choosing Fairtrade gold. It really makes a difference to the miners and their communities.

I hope you like the simple and playful design of this bracelet.

Regarding shipping:
I am still aiming to ship orders as normal, within 2-3 days. However, because I don´t always have all products on stock, I need to ask that you allow me 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 me!
