Where does the precious metal come from?
It is our concern to leave as little trace as possible on our planet, so we try to add as much precious metal to the cycle as we take from it. Recycling and upcycling are the most consistent form of sustainability.
Recycling
We purchase our precious metal from so-called refiners. They have committed themselves to guarantee a complete traceability of the materials used and to provide information about their origin at any time. They guarantee that no precious metal of any kind is purchased from mine material. Of course, you have to be aware that the precious metals have been extracted from mines at some point. More detailed information about our business partner can be found at here read up.
Upcycling
Customers like to bring old family jewellery with them. We then find a solution together to what extent we can reuse the precious metal. Apart from the sustainable aspect, this also has a very nice personal component.
If the scrap gold is not used directly for melting down, we will offset the value of the scrap gold (at the current precious metal price) against the costs incurred for the new rings. You can find out more about offsetting scrap gold against our fees under Costs
COSTS FOR ENGAGEMENT RINGS
By customising the choice of precious metals for your engagement ring, you have full control over the budget and the associated costs. Find out more here about the prices of different materials in order to make an informed decision before contacting us. The total cost of your engagement ring is not only influenced by the precious metal selected, but also by the ring size and the fluctuating market prices of precious metals, which serve as the basis for our calculation.
In addition, the cost of diamonds varies depending on their quality and size. These details will be personally agreed with you to ensure that your engagement ring exactly matches your expectations and budget.

SUSTAINABILITY
If you have old gold, you are welcome to bring it along. By recycling your old gold, you contribute to the precious metal cycle. The fineness of your gold will be assessed and credited to you.
