Ximena and Pamela Ceballos were born in Peru, both found in art a way to express themselves and create. At the beginning of their careers they took different paths, but it was during 2011 where art united them again through jewelry and Peruvian gemstones. This is how together they created Sissai.
Returning to our essence is part of what Sissai means and Sustainability is fundamental for us in this aspect, creating a responsible gold market in Peru and generating development in everything we do are factors that motivate our team to move forward.
PlanetGOLD works in collaboration with governments, the private sector, and small mining communities in nine countries around the world to significantly improve the production practices and working environment of small-scale artisanal miners. Working together to close the financial gap, supporting formalization and raising awareness in mining communities through mercury-free extraction technology and engagement with formal markets, the program seeks to show the way for cleaner and more small-scale artisanal mining, that benefits everyone, from the mine to the market.
We are an association of responsible innovators committed to the sustainable development of the FASHION and textile Sector of Peru
