Recycled gold – a bright future for sustainable luxury

Recycled gold

Recycled gold is not new to the market, but its importance has grown significantly in line with increased awareness of the environment and sustainability. This means that gold previously used in jewelry, electronics or other products is melted down and reused to create new items. This process reduces the need for new gold mining, which is a resource-intensive and environmentally-impacting activity.

Recycled gold is identical in appearance and quality compared to newly mined gold. It undergoes rigorous smelting and purification processes that ensure it maintains the same high standard as new gold. Schalins ensures that all gold used in our jewelry, regardless of origin, meets strict quality standards.

Is recycled gold less valuable?

Economically, recycled gold is just as valuable as newly mined gold. The price of gold is determined by its purity and weight, not by its origin. Therefore, it does not matter if the gold is recycled or new when it comes to its market value. Recycled gold maintains the same high quality standards as newly mined gold. At Schalins, we guarantee that our jewellery, made from 100% recycled gold, meets all the industry's requirements for quality and beauty.

The advantages of recycled gold are many:

• Environmentally friendly : It reduces the need for mining, which is beneficial for the environment as it reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and chemicals.
• Sustainability : It supports a circular economy where resources are used more efficiently.
• Ethical consumption : Choosing recycled gold reduces the demand for newly mined gold, which can reduce negative social and ecological impacts in the mining industry.

How does the use of recycled metals contribute to reduced carbon dioxide emissions for Schalins?

By using recycled gold, Schalins reduces its ecological footprint by significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional gold mining. This is part of our commitment to the environment and sustainability in all stages of our business.

Investing in jewelry from Schalins made from recycled gold is not only a sign of good taste but also an active choice for a sustainable future. Every piece of jewelry from us guarantees the highest quality, regardless of whether the gold is new or recycled, and contributes to a more sustainable and ethical jewelry industry.
