100% reprocessed metal:
100% Repurposed Precious Metals
Repurposed precious metals offer the possibility of reusing existing materials rather than using newly mined metals. This circular approach reuses precious metals without requiring additional extraction for the materials used in your jewellery.
Responsible material choices are an important part of my jewellery practice. I welcome your questions about the metals available for any of your projects.
Fairmined gold and silver:
Fairmined gold and silver offer an opportunity to support responsible mining and contribute directly to the well-being of artisanal and small-scale mining communities.
Certified by the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), these mining organizations follow standards for responsible environmental practices, fair working conditions and social development. Miners receive a fair price for their precious metals, along with an additional premium that can be reinvested in improving mining practices and supporting community projects, including improving local education and healthcare.
I welcome your questions about using Fairmined gold or silver for any of your projects.
Repurposed diamonds:
Repurposed diamonds are reclaimed from previously loved jewellery and repolished when necessary to restore their beauty and brilliance.
Giving these remarkable gems a new life allows us to appreciate their enduring beauty without the need for newly mined diamonds. Choosing repurposed diamonds is a responsible material choice that combines the beauty of natural diamonds with a commitment to reusing existing resources.
Canadian diamonds:
Canadian diamonds offer a responsibly sourced option, mined in Canada under established labour and environmental regulations.
Canadian mining operations are subject to high standards for worker safety, fair employment practices and environmental protection. Choosing Canadian diamonds also offers the benefit of traceability, allowing clients to know more about the origin of their gemstones.
I welcome your questions about using Canadian diamonds for any of your projects.
Responsibly sourced gems:
These gems are part of an expanding aray of responsible choices.
Canadian diamonds and Montana sapphires, are among some of the responsibly sourced gems used by Christine. These gems have a transparent chain of supply to ensure that responsible mining practices are respected and to ensure that everyone involved in the chain of supply is assured a safe and secure work environment with fair compensation.
Keep an eye on new arrivals since Christine is always on the lookout to increase her selection of beautiful responsibly sourced gems!
