All jewellery is handmade and shipped from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and therefore is exempt from tariffs for USA customers under CUSMA, the free-trade agreement. I always ship with a certificate of origin for customs.

Got it!

*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 Stud Earring No. 05 in Fairmined 18k yellow gold with Freshwater Pearl

$1,140.00

One-of-a-kind Flow Stud No. 05
with 4mm genuine freshwater pearl, one-of-a-kind no.05,

This single stud is related to the circular calligraphic element known as Enzo. It is cast in ethical 18ky certified FairMined gold from the Iquira Mine in Columbia.

Tracing gold to its artisanal mining origin is highly unusual, but it is the only way to make certain that there is no conflict gold involved.

The entire supply chain of this gold is tightly traced from the mine to the goldsmith, under independent auditing. I am so relieved that I have found Fairmined Gold. It truly is Gold To Be Proud Of.

Similar to Fairtrade, Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from responsible small-scale artisanal mining organizations, effecting socio-economic benefits for the miners, and their communities, and protection of the environment. It ensures

• Social, economic and environmental development
• Guaranteed minimum price for workers
• Better trade relationships
• Safe working conditions
• Small-scale operations with minimal environmental impact
• No link to conflict zones
• Rehabilitation of native ecosystem

Mitsuro Hikime, the Japanese beeswax method used to create the FLOW Series, results in markedly one-of-a-kind pieces each time. Local beeswax is melted with Portuguese pine resin to create a malleable wax which can only be worked by hand, at body temperature. Shaping the wax has to happen with very few movements, in a flow, which is where the Series gets its name. That leaves room for a lot of serendipity, but not for hesitation.

This is a one-of-a-kind, single earring, to be worn by itself or with a similar version from the same Series.
