All jewellery is handmade and shipped from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and therefore is exempt from tariffs for USA customers under CUSMA, the free-trade agreement. I always ship with a certificate of origin for customs.

Got it!

*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.

Back at the Bench

Share on:

Oh, it’s been lovely to be back at the bench! Work has gone out to Handworks Gallery in St. John, New Brunswick, and Mountain Galleries in Jasper, Alberta. There is a lovely video about the latter on YouTube, see ici.

I love the combination: wooden bench, tungsten steel cutting precious metal, hands – precious hands!

I’ve been burning the midnight oil, for sure. Luckily, I have friends who help me find balance, look:

We had a great sail on Nova Scotia’s South Shore

And if it involves me, it’ll involve food: anchored in Lunenburg, we made dinner on board our friend’s lovely schooner.

This is the gorgeous galley in this gorgeous boat

The setting was spectacular.

View from the boat, of Lunenburg at sunset

And so I am ready to return to the bench refreshed. I love what I do! It is hard work, yes, but boy, I am so grateful.

I love making jewellery

Enjoy your day!
