Minrl one of The Fairmined 100 Challenge Winners

We are so happy and proud that Aura won “Best Silver Collection" within the first edition of the Fairmined 100 challenge, while our Random Polygons were nominated for the same prize.

The Fairmined initiative launched the Fairmined 100 challenge in September 2021, inviting brands and designers to present jewellery collections made from Fairmined gold and silver.
