An ethical choice. Which precious metal should I choose?

Recycled silver, gold and platinum

Precious metal already in circulation that has been melted down and re-refined. We cannot verify the original source of the gold but the refining process ensures the original integrity and value is maintained. No new gold is mined in this process.

Single Mine Origin gold

The Single Mine Origin scheme was initiated to bring accountability to every gram of gold, so you know where your jewellery comes from – with a traceable and auditable history that leads right back to its source. The SMO scheme isn’t just about understanding the provenance of gold – it’s also a commitment to a set of standards and principles across the entire process, from the SMO accredited mining partner right through to manufacturing. At every stage of the chain of custody, all partners must operate along a set of rigorous guidelines, ensuring a high degree of corporate social responsibility across all areas, including fair wages, stringent health & safety adherence, environmental stewardship, community engagement, and corporate governance.

Fair-trade Gold

The Fair-trade gold scheme offers a lifeline to artisanal and small scale mining associations, (ASMO’s). It empowers vulnerable mining communities, ensuring fair prices, better working conditions, stringent safety standards and full traceability.
