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.
Inspired by vines in my garden, the rings in this series are perfect for signifying many things – think ‘Let’s tie the Knot’, etc . The square wire juxtaposes the round shapes of the knots, and the piece has an elegant feeling of abundance.
Each piece is individually hand-fabricated, randomly forming the wire in its knot shapes by hand or with simple tools. Thus, every one of these rings is completely unique.

Made from 100% SCS® recycled 18 karat gold sourced from Umicore and/or Stuller Inc., who apply an exclusively SCS-certified recycling process for their gold and silver. They are both members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).
Note my caveat about the general use of the word "recycled gold."
