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.
Each couple is unique; the same should be true for their rings. Artisan-crafted engagement and wedding rings made from sustainably-sourced materials – what could be better?
Creating rings to represent the love and commitment between two people is always an honour, one I take to heart.
Over 20 years as a goldsmith have given me the expertise to advise you in gem choice, comfort, and design. Through decisive research into ethical sourcing I have found the most trusted suppliers.
Let’s create an heirloom together to show your love and care
for and to the world!
