Why buy pre-loved gold?

In its elemental form, gold is significantly rarer than diamonds. With a finite number of gold deposits on Mother Earth, we’ll eventually run out of places to mine it. On top of that, many countries have seen soil erosion, deforestation, and other issues impacting the ecosystems due to gold mining.

Chemicals like mercury and cyanide are also involved in the mining process, layering more negative impacts. Using recycled gold helps to reduce the demand for newly mined metals, creating a sustainable circular economy.

In addition to the negative impacts of gold-mining, modern jewelry is often made thinner and lighter than vintage pieces, making it more easily damaged, shortening it’s lifespan and wearability. Vintage gold is over 20 years old and its quality has proven the test of time, and all gold holds the same value per gram whether vintage or new.

Vintage solid gold is a much better investment than gold vermeil or gold-plated jewelry which will eventually tarnish or rub away after a season or two of wear. Instead, solid gold will last lifetimes with proper care and will continue to increase in value.
