Palak Jewels believes that tractability is key to ensuring that mines are operated in environmentally and socially responsible ways We have established our own rigorous standards for responsible mining that guide our decisions about which mines we directly source from To that end we have direct sourcing relationships with mines around the world In many cases the output of those mines is delivered straight to Palak Jewels own jewellery manufacturing and diamond cutting and polishing facilities Palak Jewels crafts the majority of its jewellery in its own workshops These workshops are among the finest in the jewellery industry meeting the highest standards for safety cleanliness and a productive welcoming environment Further our craftspeople are hired from the local communities and paid fair wages to better ensure that our manufacturing operations create a positive impact along the supply chain all the way from the mine to our customers
