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.
A narrow band to keep your wider ring in place when it feels a little big!
As a goldsmith I often observe my client’s fingers swell and shrink with the seasons or with certain foods – this is a normal occurrence, and becomes worse the better aged our beautiful bodies become. That means that wider rings such as my OneFooter rings might seem particularly tight some days, and almost slide off on others.
Mes Keeper Rings were developed to solve that problem by stacking a 6th ‘loop’ separately onto your finger. Getting one a half size smaller than your OneFooter ring, these skinny rings can be added to your finger after you have slid your OneFooter ring in place. They will act as a sort of ‘stopper’ for the wider ring – I have been making them for custom clients for years, and am finally offering them here.
The skinny profile of the ring makes it easy for skin to ‘roll’ out of the way underneath when you put it on, while staying in place once there.
Just like the rest of my work, these rings are hand crafted in 18K yellow or palladium white gold.
The are available in plain round version, which is better for more severe cases, or forged to more closely resemble the loops of the OneFooter ring.
Of course they also work on their own as delicate bands!
Still have questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ll be happy to talk.
