STORIES - Is Recycled Gold the Future of Jewellery?
In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, even the luxury industry is beginning to ask whether it is still necessary to destroy ecosystems for gold? Conditions are far from ideal. Forests are cut down, chemicals are used and that's on top of poor working conditions. Is there a solution? Yes, meet recycled gold.
What is recycled gold?
Recycled gold is gold that comes from other products or objects and is given a new life. Think, for example, of old jewellery, industrial waste or electronic components. It is remelted and refined again. The result? Pure gold with exactly the same quality and appearance as ‘newly’ mined gold, but without the bad ecological and social conditions.
Elegant and good for the conscience
Using recycled gold is an elegant way to create beauty without causing harm. You automatically contribute to a better world with less mining, lower carbon emissions and, above all, respect for human rights.
For those who value meaningful luxury, recycled gold is not just a choice, it's a statement.
