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.
Script SURGE Ring in 18k Yellow Gold with Spinel, Ruby & Diamonds
Starting at $5,800.00
Oooh, I am excited about this one – red!! My newest ‘baby’ in the Series, this one-of-a-kind ring is sprinkled with a larger genuine, very red oval spinel, two 2mm genuine rubies, as well as two natural Canadian diamonds, each 2.3mm (0.05ct) SI/FG colour.
This ring is also a bit of a play on art history and gemmology: red Spinel has been mistaken for ruby throughout the ages. There is more information on both gemstones in my Knowledge Base, including the fact that Ruby is the same mineral as Sapphire! And it never hurts to add some diamonds.
The Script Series is at once related to hand-writing, as well as water. This is what I do: write letters in pen and ink, by the water, watching the moon or the sun rise. The sculptural elegance of the Script SURGE ring in 18k yellow gold arose from a fluid movement.
This Series is a great one to customize: one or several stones can be added to this ring, making it a family ring, mother’s ring, or simply a receptacle for gemstones from heirlooms. Talk to me about what you’d like to dream up!
