*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.

Celebration Ring No. 14
Grandeur 7
Heating sapphires is a very common and absolutely accepted practice. Nonetheless, it’s always nice to work with an unheated sapphire which was already a desired colour when it came out of the ground. You won’t find them too often!
This one is cut in a rectangular shape with cut corners, also known as emerald cut (because emeralds are often cut in this fashion). It weighs 0.70ct and measures 6x4mm.
I like putting my gems into full bezels firstly for aesthetic reasons: I like the contemporary look. But bezels are also safer for gemstones, because they won’t snag like claws. Snagged claws can bend back, exposing a stone. So a full bezel suits me better. No need to check and/or re-tip claws!
The 18k gold band is 2.5mm wide, and bevelled on the inside similar to a comfort-fit. If worn as an engagement ring, a wedding band could go next to it.
If worn to celebrate a birthday or other milestone, or simply as a self-empowering ring, it’s good to go on its own!
Bagues sur mesure
Of course I can craft a similar ring in a different size, metal, or with a different gem.
