This month, leading ethical jewellery brand勒布鲁斯工作室年满10岁。同名品牌是由珠宝设计师和视觉艺术家阿拉伯勒布鲁斯（Arabel Lebrusan）创立的，她的道德珠宝精品店Leblas是伦敦著名的Sloane Street上的第一家。勒布鲁斯（Lebrusan）在根深蒂固地从内而外改变行业的深度需求推动了2012年的勒布鲁斯（Lebrusan）工作室，以此作为通过自己设计的媒介来实现公平，可追溯性和可持续性的一种方式。
From a small clicks-only business operated from a kitchen table in Bedford to an established, progressive and principled brand recognised globally, Lebrusan Studio’s story is one of self-belief and sheer determination. “The decade that’s led to this point has been a journey of trials, triumphs, lessons and laughs – and I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” Arabel Lebrusan says.
To celebrate the anniversary of its beginning, the Lebrusan Studio team cast their mind back of their 10 proudest achievements in the past 10 years…
1. Pioneering Fairtrade Gold
2011年，阿拉伯勒布鲁桑（Arabel Lebrusan）与全球其他15位珠宝商一起被专门选拔公平贸易黄金。Her first significant foray into this beautiful metal was Lebrusan Studio’s earliest bridal collections. Since gaining its Fairtrade certification all those years ago, Lebrusan Studio has journeyed collaboratively with Fairtrade from strength to strength, enjoying a mutually beneficial relationship. Lebrusan Studio prides itself on serving as a mouthpiece for Fairtrade Gold, its jewels acting as ambassadors for the organisation and its important work.
2. Delivering a TEDx Talk on ethical jewellery
In 2014, Arabel Lebrusan was invited to deliver her very ownTEDx Talk在贝德福德。目前，提及冲突钻石的道德困境以及在新闻界和在线领域中已经确立了良好的钻石问题，但未能推动消费者和珠宝商的决定。这次演讲是阿拉伯人为道德珠宝做出引人入胜且令人难忘的论点的机会。
3. Winning the title of the NAJ’s Jewellery Designer of the Year
2017年，阿拉伯勒布鲁斯（Arabel Lebrusan）被NAJ加冕为年度珠宝设计师。对于阿拉伯人来说，赢得这一享有声望的荣誉而获得的骄傲是双重的。她因其创造力和专业知识而受到认可，但她特别荣幸地获得了具有环境和社会经济任务的珠宝商的认可。道德与辉煌之间的开创性桥梁！
4.在法属波利尼西亚发现环保珍珠
In 2016, Arabel travelled to the Huahine pearl farm in French Polynesia, where black Tahitian pearls are harvested on a small scale and with minimal human intervention. Arabel began her jewellery journey two decades ago, working as a fashion jewellery designer in the Far East where she visited countless Hong Kong offices filled to the brim with tons of Chinese freshwater pearls, grown quickly and forcibly inside molluscs living in highly polluted lakes. For so long, Arabel had been deterred by pearl jewellery. The discovery of pearls grown honestly and non-intrusively was a revelation, leading to some iconic black pearl commissions.
5.参观哥伦比亚的库德米拉采矿合作社
2017年，阿拉伯和她的家人前往哥伦比亚西部山上的一个小镇高镇，那里Fairmined生态黄金is extracted.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience, she explored an active gold mine and witnessed the mining process, by which not one single chemical is used; just water and machinery. Arabel came away overwhelmed with admiration for Fairmined Ecological Gold and the people behind it; people who show Mother Nature the respect she deserves, understand the connection between sustaining nature and sustaining their own livelihood. Witnessing this harmonious, symbiotic relationship in action was a huge life lesson for her.
6.为水项目筹集资金
勒布鲁斯（Lebrusan）工作室从一开始就支持了水项目。那是10年的季度捐款！“我们希望在撒哈拉以南非洲获得安全水的情况下帮助我们的注意力，我们的注意力主要引起塞拉利昂。塞拉利昂（Sierra Leone）遭受了11年的内战，这在很大程度上是由于钻石矿业行业和血钻石的交通而引起的。”该品牌解释说。“作为道德珠宝商，我们认为纠正这些错误是我们的责任。”
7.探索斯里兰卡的可追溯和公平的蓝宝石
In 2019, Arabel Lebrusan embarked on the research trip of a lifetime; a month in Sri Lanka learning about the mining, cutting, polishing and trading of sapphires.

The London Diamond Bourse is rich in history and cultural significance, making it a fantastic environment for seeking inspiration. It enables us to offer our clients a memorable and authentic experience,” says Arabel. “As a responsible brand committed to ethical sourcing, our presence at the London Diamond Bourse only furthers us in our mission of bridging the gap between luxury and sustainability, altering deep-rooted perceptions of how the jewellery industry looks.”
9.为LGBTQ+客户端启动一系列性别中立的承诺戒指
2021年，勒布鲁斯（Lebrusan）工作室取消了《自由》（Freedom）的盖子，其新的性别中立可组合承诺戒指为LGBTQ+客户群。无论是作为订婚戒指，代替婚礼乐队还是为了纪念特殊的周年纪念日，勒布鲁斯工作室都认识到象征性的戒指恰到好处的感觉的重要性，它的设计是对佩戴者个人的真实封装。该品牌解释说：“这个灵活收藏的灵感是每周遍历我们大门的折衷客户，以及我们为确保在购买个人珠宝时没有人感到鸽子的根本愿望。”
10.全球反对童工的全球游行筹集1,000英镑
在承认2021年是消除童工的国际年中，Lebrusan Studio花了六个月的时间为全球游行竞选童工，鼓励通过其专门的筹款页面直接向慈善机构捐款，而勒布鲁斯工作室（Lebrusan Studio）反对儿童劳动。2022年1月，该品牌自豪地宣布其捐款为1,000英镑。
