*Caveat on using the term “recycled gold”:

While I am very careful to source my precious metals only from SCS® certified suppliers (SCS® stands for Supply Chain Sustainability; they are the global leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification). Most of my precious metals suppliers are also members of the Responsible Jewellery Council. However, I want to point out that ‘recycling gold' is not what is commonly understood by the term.

True recycling avoids things ending up in landfills. Gold, of course, wouldn’t.

Instead, gold is simply melted, refined and repurposed.

Although SCS® certified refineries must maintain auditable records of their suppliers, there are loopholes globally which make it very easy for gold from unregulated and/or illegal sources to enter their supply chain.

This makes even 'certified recycled' gold untraceable.

I have finally buckled to the manifold requests from clients to put stones in my work.
And I must say: I like it!  What do you think (please do let me know):

The price of the pieces will depend on the price of the stone at the time. I am now establishing a working relationship with a local diamond merchant, which is rewarding and interesting. I will be setting certified, laser-inscribed Canadian diamonds in these pieces.

This new addition to my Onefooter Series will be officially launched at this weekend’s ACTS (Atlantic Craft Trade Show) here in Halifax (booth#2401). Unfortunately, this is a wholesale show, only, with the general public not admitted. But it means that the pieces will be available (or at least available to order) in all the select galleries that carry my work (see locations).

And I’ll be adding a new location to this list: a gallery in the Virgin Islands has picked up my line! The owner came to see me in Orlando. And promises of orders to come from Boothbay Harbor in Maine, and Charleston, South Carolina. So keep your eyes and ears peeled for news about this!
