*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.

Flow Pendant No. 15 | Enzo with Bindu
Individually handcrafted from Fairmined 18k yellow gold, which is mined at the Iquira Mine in Columbia under the highest environmental and best social standards.
This pendant is created in the ancient Japanese technique of Mitsuro Hikime. The literal translation of the term explains the method: Mitsu (Honey)- ro (wax) Hiki (Pulling)-me (Texture) – Honey Wax Pulling Texture. Local beeswax (with the addition of pine resin) is folded and pulled over and over again, only ever touching the wax from below, never on top, so that the textxure can develop. Eventually the rich texture of the pieces in the FLOW Series appears on the untouched surface of the wax. Working purely by hand and fuelled by the warmth of my body, it takes a long time and much patience to get the wax to this point. Once the texture is achieved, the wax is shaped with very few movements, in one flow, which is where the Series gets its name.
In Zen Buddhism, a calligraphic circle, executed in one stroke, symbolizes strength, elegance, the universe, and one’s original, pure mind. Bindu, the smaller top circle, is Sanskrit for ‘point’ or ‘dot’ and symbolizes the source of all energy/life.
For these difficult-to-achieve forms, only the most ethical gold is good enough: Fairmined Gold.
Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations. The miners and their communities receive a premium to maximize socio-economic benefit. This transforms mining into an active force for good, ensuring social development and environmental protection
This gold is traced meticulously, and audited by 3rd parties. This truly is Gold To Be Proud Of. With the purchase of this pendant, you improve lives.
Please note that the chain is vermeil: sterling silver with thick gilding of gold. I will gladly replace that with a solid gold chain at additional cost.
