Precious metalsĀ
- The precious metal refiners we source our materials from have gone to great lengths toĀ secureĀ the origin of their precious metal sources, along with their refining processes.Ā All ofĀ these suppliers are either a member of theĀ ResponsibleĀ Jewellery CouncilĀ (RJC)Ā themselves or ensure all metal sourced is from an accredited organisationĀ that is either a member of RJC or the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).Ā
- In our workshop, after every piece we craft, we collect all the precious metalĀ dust and filingsĀ from the jeweller's benchesĀ to beĀ refined back to a pure state andĀ used again. This is just one of the ways we involve recycling in our processes to make them more sustainable.
