recycle

did you know that some jewelers (like me) use 100% recycled metals? i work with a company that buys back old unwanted jewelry and refines it to make new gold, silver, and platinum.

even this bridal crown of sterling and 18 k is 100% recycled metal. you can recycle too!

cocktail ring AND pendant


this beauty is made with a 14ct rutilated quartz set in 18k gold with diamonds on the side- and the best part is that it converts into a pendant! wow- 2 in 1!

amethyst glam


this was fun to make: a large amethyst centered by cabochon peridot and garnets which show from the side- and can be worn as a ring also!

you can recycle too!



do you have some old gold jewelry lying around that you'll never wear? just like your bottles and cans, the materials in your jewlery can be recycled for cash or credit. bring the stuff you never wanna see again to your local jeweler (or contact me) and ask them what they would pay you for it. they will in turn send it in to a precious metal refining company which will reclaim the materials and prepare it for new jewelry.

how much have you got? do the math: 18k is 75% pure gold, 14k is about 58% pure gold, 10k is about 37% pure gold, dental gold is 12k which is 45% pure gold, but the refining process itself is costly so subtract another 10% from your karat and this is a rough estimate of your return.
