CarterGore to
host first ever
pop up at fashion
festival
Newly launched jewellery brand
CarterGore is set to host its first ever
popup store at the Fine Tuned fashion
festival in Liverpool this weekend.
The brand, which was set up by the
former MD of ChloBo Gary Carter,
will showcase his tattoo-inspired
collections, Tattoo Candy and Carnival
Wonderland.
The fringe event is part of British Style
Collective and presented by The Clothes
Show in association with Alcatel.
Fine Tuned has been brought
together by fashion guru Wayne
Hemingway and his creative team at
HemingwayDesign. It will present a
collection of independent designer
makers, street food vendors, vintage
traders, performers, and classic car
display.
Gary Carter, launched his new
jewellery collections at the Great
British Tattoo Show in Alexandra
Palace last month.
Carter said: “When the opportunity
to take the next step and create a pop-
up shop came to us, I jumped at the
chance as I am confident that everyone
that gets to see it will want it.
“We are now developing a short
series of collaborative pop-ups,
so to be able to work with such
cool and talented designers, as
HemingwayDesign for the first one
is just incredible. I am really looking
forward to it.”

ETHICS
RJC welcomes
industry input
for Code of
Practice review
The Responsible Jewellery Council
(RJC) has invited the industry to have
its say on the body’s Code of Practice.
The Code of Practice is the
standard which defines responsible
ethical, human rights, social, and
environmental practices for companies
in the diamond, gold and/or platinum
metals jewellery supply chain.
Certification against the Code of
Practices is a mandatory part of RJC
membership.
The body has released a Public
Summary document which will be
open to public comment until 8
September 2017.
The RJC said that it was “particularly
seeking feedback on gaps and potential
improvements” to the standard. It also
stated that “any comments on the
review process itself” were welcomed.
The review of the Code of
Practices will involve a number of
consultative webinars, workshops
and public comment periods over
the next 12 months.
Those who want to receive regular
updates on these opportunities for
input, should register their interest at

Some 17 women from jewellery trade
specialist insurance brokers, TH
March, have smashed their £1,000
charity walk target.
They marched at midnight last
week to help raise funds for St Luke’s
Hospice, Plymouth.
Their total currently stands at £1,800
and is expected to rise.
They were joined by thousands of
other women for the Neon Midnight
Walk, helping to raise funds towards
the £4m the charity must raise to keep
providing specialist palliative care and
support for patients.
Joanne Morgan, HR manager, said:
“We are blown away by the generosity
of our families, friends and our
employer who have kindly sponsored
and raised funds with us. St Luke’s is a
much-loved charity and very close to
our hearts here at TH March.
“Over the years quite a few of us
have had family and friends cared for
by the charity. We would like to thank
everyone.”
Andrew Alcock, chief operating
officer at TH March, said: “TH March
has a long history of charitable giving
and is delighted to support the efforts
of our fantastic team of heroes – we are
very proud of them all.”
