*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.

The perils of hanging out with fellow crafters

We had a lovely time at our  Holiday event LustreWorks, which I do every year with potter Mindy Moore at the studio of her husband, photographer Marvin Moore. One of the perils of hanging out with fellow artisans is that one gets exposed to more beautiful things made by hand … more chances of falling in love with handcrafted objects.

This year, I came home with three of Mindy’s lovely tumblers. How could I resist? Someone pointed out that it was only natural that I was drawn to this work, as it clearly mirrors my fascination with the study of line. Look:

Does this remind you of a certain ring style ....?
