Our Story
For over 30 years, Greg Valerio MBE has been at the heart of the ethical jewellery movement. Recognised as a pioneer and activist, Greg has dedicated his life to transforming the jewellery industry from the ground up, championing Fairtrade Gold, traceable diamonds, and responsible supply chains long before they became industry standards.
In the early 2000s, Greg co-founded CRED Jewellery and helped establish the world’s first Fairtrade Gold supply chain, working directly with artisanal and small-scale miners in South America and Africa. His tireless campaigning against exploitation, conflict gold, and environmental destruction cemented his reputation as the founding father of ethical jewellery. His work has been recognised globally, earning him an MBE for services to the jewellery industry.
Today, Valerio Jewellery continues Greg’s vision: to offer couples engagement rings, wedding bands, and fine jewellery crafted from ethically sourced gold, Fairtrade and Fairmined materials, and responsibly sourced diamonds. Every piece is a symbol of love that changes the world, connecting you to a legacy of activism, transparency, and integrity.
By choosing Valerio Jewellery, you are part of a story that proves beauty, ethics, and craftsmanship belong together. This is more than jewellery—it is a movement, a promise, and a future built on fairness.
