He has been a supporter for Fairtrade Gold since 2011, becoming one of the first brands in the world to receive a license, and in 2016 was awarded the prestigious Butterfly Mark certification powered by Positive Luxury, recognising the brands long tradition of producing the finest possible jewellery with sustainability at the heart of every step.

The Next Generation
In 2018, the next generation was introduced to the business, Amy Webster, Stephen’s daughter. Impressed by Amy’s digital campaigns for a Berlin-based advertising agency, he persuaded her to return home and join the company as Art Director.
In 2022, Stephen’s youngest daughter, Nika Webster, was so inspired by the brand's skill of craftsmanship and goldsmithing, she started a B-Tech course in jewellery making and is undergoing work experience alongside our master craftsman, Mike Oddy.
