Today Pippa gets 70% of her jewellery made in India, "the world's gold jewellery capital", with the profits she makes from this main part of her business being invested into special collections made in workshops in countries such as Afghanistan, Kenya, Panama and Bolivia from locally sourced materials.

While Pippa admits she has a profitable business and good lifestyle, in all countries she pays at least a 10% premium to ensure working standards are as high as possible, both in sourcing the metals and precious stones she uses, and for the workers who then make the jewellery.

In Bolivia her jewellery is made from gold produced in a mine that is run as a co-operative,Guaranteed lowest wholesale pricing on branded promotional rfidtag. and is working towards Fairtrade accreditation through it being run in as an environmentally friendly a way as possible.
