Actress and activist Nathalie Kelley, known for her roles in <\/span>Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>The Vampire Diaries,<\/span><\/i> Netflix\u2019s <\/span>The Baker and the Beauty<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Motorheads, <\/span><\/i>has designed a one-off jewellery piece for Pure Earth\u2019s 2025 Pure Gold Auction, which aims to raise awareness about the global impact of mercury pollution from gold mining. Nathalie\u2019s design echoes a story of sustainability, empowerment, and regeneration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time ever, the Pure Gold Auction will feature jewellery crafted from 100% ethically sourced Fairmined gold from AMATAF, a woman-led network of artisanal miners in Madre de Dios, Peru, who have worked with Pure Earth for years to eliminate mercury from their mining practices.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of Quechua descent, Nathalie Kelley has become a passionate voice for protecting the Peruvian Amazon and the indigenous communities who depend on it. Her efforts to raise awareness about pollution from gold mining led her to Pure Earth, a global non-profit working to protect people and the planet from heavy metal pollution. Kelley joined Pure Earth\u2019s Leadership Council in 2025.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone with Peruvian and Quechua roots, this work is close to my heart,\u201d said Kelley. \u201cI\u2019m proud to use my voice to support Pure Earth, an organisation that honours local leadership and offers real, tangible solutions to prevent mercury pollution.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To design her jewellery auction piece, Kelley collaborated with Peruvian jewellery designer Andrea Jos\u00e9, who works with Pure Earth to support gold miners transitioning to more ethical practices. The result is a piece that symbolises a shift in the narrative around gold: from toxic pollution and deforestation to sustainable livelihoods and environmental restoration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The finished piece is an exquisite necklace featuring a jaguar pendant and precious stones. The one-of-a-kind necklace is crafted in 18-karat mercury-free gold from AMATAF miners trained by Pure Earth and features an Umba Sapphire from Anza Gems and two yellow recycled sapphires from Perpetuum Jewels. The colours of the stones depict the Amazonian sunrise, and the jaguar is a powerful symbol of nature, harmony, and the resilience of the Peruvian Amazon.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJewellery tells a story, and I wanted this piece to tell one of hope,\u201d added Kelley. \u201cGold doesn\u2019t have to come at the expense of poisoned rivers and lost forests. By supporting miners who are leading the way with mercury-free practices, we can transform the industry\u2014and give people a chance to wear jewellery that reflects their values.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal posing major public health concern according to the World Health Organization. The leading source of global mercury pollution is artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), which produces about 12% to 15% of the world\u2019s gold. There are an estimated 10 to 15 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners worldwide, including 4 to 5 million women and children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For over a decade, Pure Earth has been working globally and in Madre de Dios, helping miners adopt mercury-free techniques, build sustainable supply chains, and restore ecosystems devastated by mining. Together with local partners, they have reforested over 10 hectares with more than 10,000 native trees.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2016, the Pure Earth Pure Gold Jewelry Auction has showcased unique pieces of jewellery crafted by designers who are passionate about using responsibly sourced materials and supporting Pure Earth\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
