*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.

Setting of the Diamonds

Share on:

Ha! I figured out how to show you the video of Peter showing me how to set the diamonds into the engagement ring I spoke off in my last post. Mind you, the step shown in this video takes place after a lot of prep work to create the seat for the diamond; it’s not quite as easy as it looks here!  So here you go:

Tomorrow, I leave for a special event in Annapolis Royal ,NS, which is part of the celebrations of International Women’s Day

Sisters in Steel: A celebration of women artist blacksmiths

 I am totally pumped to watch demos of women blacksmiths, and to get to swing a hammer, myself :)

    • Hello Margareta! Thanks very much for your comment. Unfortunately, I won’t be in Las Vegas this time. Have you had a chance to browse my website? I also have a slightly more current catalogue, which I could e-mail to you, if you like.
      Thanks for checking in, and enjoy your day :)
