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.
OneAndAHalfFooter in 18k Yellow Gold or 18k Palladium White Gold
$10,370.00
The luscious opulence of one-and-a-half feet of 18k gold! The gold is first pushed and pulled in various directions, then wound to wrap around the finger many times without beginning or end. The weight will surprise you, as will how amazingly comfortable this ring is to wear, because it is not cast, but made as one continuous loop. This refined spiral ring beautifully coils its loops of gold.
This spiral ring generally has 6 or 7 loops, but that can vary, depending on how much the metal was forged, and the size of the ring. Average width is 14mm (ca. ½”+)
Also available in 18k palladium white gold as well as sterling silver.

Note my caveat about the general use of the word "recycled gold."
