*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 Ring No. 34
Grandeur 6
I don’t know what’s with me, but I love working with an abundance of material. Case in point: this massive hunk of gold, crafted into a most elegant ring in ethically mined, lusciously high-karat gold as all the pieces in the FLOW Series. This sustainable ring would make an excellent ethical wedding band.
The design is inspired by the movement of water, and the texture of calligraphy brushes. These rings are created in the ancient Japanese technique Mitsuro Hikime, which uses local beeswax mixed with pine resin to create each piece individually. They are then cast in lost-wax method – each ring exists only once. Ethically mined gold like I use for this Series is not so easy to come by. A goldsmith has to be licensed to sell it, because – unlike with other gold – , the tracing is meticulous: from Fairmined-licensed artisanal mining communities to the refinery and then the goldsmith. This process is 3rd party-audited. The miners and their communities receive a premium to maximize socio-economic benefit.
You can see how Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations. It transforms mining into an active force for good, ensuring social development and environmental protection, providing everyone with a source of gold to be proud of. With the purchase of this ring, you improve lives.
There is only one mine in the world which meets the stringent environmental and social standards to carry the label “Fairmined Gold“: the Oro Puno Mine in Peru, without the use of mercury, cyanide or other potentially harmful chemicals.
