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
