*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.

Now that the holiday shows on both ends of the country are over, I wanted to say a big Thank You to everyone who came to say Hi in Vancouver and Halifax.

My booth at the Halifax show.

I really enjoy taking my work out in front of people, appreciate people coming by to show me the ring they bought years ago, and/or finding out what I have new.

Lots of interest in Vancouver, as always

I got a big response to this little video from show-set-up in Vancouver, so I thought I’d share it here (there are more of them on my YouTube Channel):

Hey readers, what do you think: should I come to the OneOfAKind Show in Toronto?

The Halifax show-set-up looks a little different, because I can lug everything there straight from the studio on my neighbours open truck

Speaking of which: things have been so busy that I have not had time to update the website with all the OneOfAKind rings I had finished for those shows. So: if you are looking for a specific size or stone, drop me a line and I’ll see what I have on hand! I will try to update the website in the next couple of weeks as I am able.

This is what I had on hand in silver OneOfAKind Onefooter rigs in Vancouver on Day 3

I am also planning a Pop-Up show for downtown Halifax mid-December – likely Monday, December 17h. Stay tuned for details!
