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 Ring no.23 in Fairmined ECO 18k yellow gold, size 4.75
One of my favs of the new batch in my FLOW Series. It’s just sooooo luscious! Wider at the top, and more narrow below will make it very comfortable.
This generous width beautifully shows the incredible texture of that Series. With this particular ring, the inspiration of traditional calligraphy is particularly evident – you can almost feel the brush leaving the paper in the swing of its inky stroke, don’t you think?
Wether as wedding band or statement ring – this one is special!
Every ring in the Series is unique and different, but I may see if I can make similar ones in larger sizes soon.
Thank you to my clients for modelling this ring for me at Vancouver’s CircleCraft Market!
The FLOW Series is cast in ethically mined and 3rd-party traced gold – there is only one mine in the world which meets the stringent environmental and social standards to carry the label “Fairmined Ecological Gold“. The design is inspired by the movement of water, driftwood, and the texture of calligraphy brushes.
These rings are created in an ancient Japanese technique which uses local beeswax mixed with pine resin from Portugal to create each piece individually. They are then cast in lost-wax method – each ring exists only once.
Find out more Fairmined Eco Gold To Be Proud Of, which is mined at the Oro Puno Mine in Peru, without the use of mercury, cyanide or other potentially harmful chemicals. With the purchase of this ring, you improve lives. This gold is traced meticulously, and audited by 3rd parties. The miners and their communities receive a premium to maximize socio-economic benefit.
