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 Ring no02 in Fairmined ECO 18k yellow gold, size 7
This new Series is inspired by the movement of water, and the texture of calligraphy brushes. You can detect that movement in this ring clearly. Upon closer observation, one can discern what looks to be individual hairs on a calligraphy brush.
These rings are created in an ancient Japanese technique which uses wax mixed with tree resin to create each piece individually. They are then cast in lost-wax method. Each ring exists only once.
This one has a particularly nice double wrap – two strands of ethical gold tightly snuggling up against each other.
