Harriet Kelsall Design has been certified by the RJC

The Cambridge and Hertfordshire-based jeweller is the first UK independent retailer to achieve certification.

“The Responsible Jewellery Council’s member certification system is an excellent initiative of which we are proud to be a part and we would strongly urge other organisations in the jewellery industry to strive to achieve RJC certification,” said Harriet Kelsall, managing director of Harriet Kelsall Jewellery Design.

Kelsall is also hoping that this will inspire other small jewellery businesses in the UK to submit to the process and is working with the industry associations to provide pointers for those wishing to obtain certification.

“Harriet has once again blazed a significant trail that others can follow,” said Simon Rainer, CEO of the British Jewellers Association. “The first UK independent retailer achieving RJC certification is very important, especially within the current industry context. I am delighted at this news and look forward to other BJA members following suit.”

Michael Hoare, CEO of the National Association of Goldsmiths echoed these sentiments:

“The RJC is the first to bring an integrated scheme from mine to retail and Harriet is in the vanguard of UK retailers achieving that standard.”
