*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.

One the my favourite things about being a jewellery designer is being able to create truly magic moments between people. Here is a snapshot for you, taken when this couple picked up their rings. May you, my reader, enjoy the magic of love in you life!

I especially created this set of MapleWrap wedding bands for a lovely (and very trending!) Halifax couple, with a Canadian diamond for her.

I have a very cool story about another lovely couple, the consultation with which ended up in their exploring working with waxes right here in my studio. I will tell you about it another time.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. And if you happen to be on your own: don’t forget to LOVE YOURSELF with as much zeal as you can possibly muster. I am sure you are worth it one hundred precent!!! Despite of what we tend to think: every one of us is generally a perfectly and totally wonderful being.

With much love and appreciation for my clients, my materials and tools and the opportunity to bring joy into people’s lives with the work of my hands,

Dorothée

  1. These rings are just devine Dorothee! I love the unique aspects of the maple leaf ring design. A lucky couple to have found each other and such a collaborative and caring designer. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    • Thanks, Emily.
      And I am glad you enjoyed your special Valentine’s Day surprise re-proposal, as well! I was totally delighted to support your fiancé in creating Valentine’s Magic by telling HIM, not you, that the diamond was set in your Onefooter, just in time :)

  2. I am in Aruba and guess what? The only ring I brought is my maple ring and it looks really great when your hands are tanned! See u on our way back home. Hugs and kisses!
