Case Study: Recycled Silver from New York
Source and Process
Our recycled silver comes from a verified facility in New York that processes electronic waste and industrial byproducts. The facility operates under strict environmental regulations and employs advanced refining techniques.
Environmental Impact: By using recycled silver, we reduce the need for new mining operations by 85%. Each kilogram of recycled silver saves approximately 7,000 liters of water and prevents 200 kg of CO2 emissions.
Community Support: The facility provides employment to 45 local workers with fair wages and safe working conditions. We visit the facility quarterly to ensure standards are maintained.
Certification: All recycled silver is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and comes with complete chain of custody documentation.
Case Study: Conflict-Free Garnet
Mine Location and Standards
Our garnets are sourced from a small-scale mine in Montana that has been operating for over 30 years. The mine is family-owned and follows strict labor and environmental standards.
Labor Practices: All workers receive fair wages, health insurance, and work in safe conditions. The mine employs 12 full-time workers and provides training programs for local community members.
Environmental Standards: The mine uses water recycling systems, minimizes land disturbance, and participates in reclamation programs. They plant native vegetation after extraction is complete.
Traceability: Each batch of garnets is tracked from the mine to our workshop. We maintain detailed records of purchase dates, quantities, and processing steps.
