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.
3-Loop OneFooter Ring with pink Sapphire in 18k Yellow Gold
Starting at $4,980.00
This 3-Loop ‘OneFooter’ ring is hand-forged in 18k yellow gold. This deep pink sapphire is 5.3mm in diameter, but we can custom select the gem of your choosing. A very impressive yet understated ring, don’t you find? This refined wrap ring beautifully intertwines the loops of gold.
For the more narrow 3-Loop ‘OneFooter’ rings I forge and intertwine 3 wraps of 18k yellow gold, rather than 5 as in the normal OneFooters. They are a touch less ‘showy’, taking up less room along the finger. These 3-Loop rings also lend themselves as engagement rings, since a wedding band can be placed next to it.

Note my caveat about the general use of the word "recycled gold."
