*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.

OneFooter Ring in recycled 18k Yellow Gold with 1.50ct Diamond

“It evokes movement, fluidity, flexibility, and echoes the twists and turns of life… maybe that’s it.”

I wanted to send you an email to say how pleased I am with my exquisite one footer ring that arrived today. I’ve wanted one for years and have always been waiting for the right time to buy one. Turns out that day was this past Saturday! I was actually dancing when I opened the package, and to find that you had taken the time and care to wrap it and tuck in a note made it even more special.

Custom 4-Loop OneFooter Ring with Client's Tiny Diamond Ring Inserted by Dorothée Rosen

Love it! Hi Dorothee – Thank you so much for making me a new ring. It fits and I love it! The ring arrived promptly, just before we left town for a few days with friends. The ladies both noticed my new ring – and commented on how beautiful it was and how perfectly it suited me. Can’t thank you enough.
