Gecko Jewellery’s Six Brands Are Now Anchor Cert Protect (Acp) Approved

09 Aug 2022

Following 12 months of intensive testing, Gecko Jewellery are proud to announce that all six of their brands are now Anchor Cert Protect (ACP) approved.

ACP is a unique UKAS-accredited testing methodology, developed by the Birmingham Assay Office Group that identifies and measures a suite of 16 metallic elements that may cause Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) and provides regulatory compliance in relation to REACH, Nickel and General Product Safety Regulations for jewellery, watches and other products including spectacles, hair accessories and clothing trims.

Currently, 25% of the population do not wear jewellery for fear of an allergic reaction.

In response to this growing concern among consumers worldwide Gecko believed that this assurance was of paramount importance, both for their own business and those of their retailers.

“Our team have worked tirelessly to ensure we are only working with the most ethical and sustainable suppliers, so I am delighted that we can now offer this extra level of protection to end consumers, even those that already have skin allergies”.

Doug Henry MBA, BAO’s CEO and Assay Master Said,

"Gecko has an enviable reputation for innovation in product design. Adding our AnchorCert Protect mark to their jewellery range means additional reassurance that their jewellery can be considered gentle for the skin. We are delighted to be part of the Gecko brand journey, supporting their continued commitment to customers and their community through jewellery that is beautifully designed and made and is kind to the skin.”
