*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.

Flow Pendant No. 08
“Thought on the Moon”
One-of-a-kind FLOW Pendant in ethical Fairmined ECO Gold,
with traced-mine-to-maker Canada Mark diamond [CMM-030937]
2.5mm, F-G, VS2-SI1, EX
Handcrafted in solid 18k Fairmined ECO yellow gold, mined at the artisanal Oro Puno Mine in Peru, without the use of mercury, cyanide or other potentially harmful chemicals.
The process of creation with the FLOW Series is quite free. When this one arose, it made me think of the proverbial ‘man in the moon’ , but the gendering here is just a thought, so I called it ‘Thought on the Moon”.
Originally, local beeswax and pine resin are melted together, then folded over and over again to achieve the rich texture of the pieces in the FLOW Series. This is the challenging ancient Japanese technique of Mitsuro Hikime.
In Zen Buddhism, a calligraphic circle, executed in one stroke, symbolizes strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void).
This pendant is proudly made of certified Fairmined™ Ecological gold, meaning:
• Small-scale operations with minimal environmental impact
• Guaranteed minimum price for workers
• No use of toxic chemicals such as mercury
• Purely mechanical extraction
• Safe working conditions
• No link to conflict zones
• Better trade relationships
• Fairmined Premium for social, economic and environmental development
• Rehabilitation of native ecosystem
With the purchase of this pendant, you improve lives. It’s gold is traced meticulously, and audited by 3rd parties. This truly is Gold To Be Proud Of.
Please note: the pendant is shown here on a neck-cable in vermeil: sterling silver with a thick gilding of gold.
