Beautiful, Ethical, and Environmentally Responsible
At RÊVE GEMS, we combine lab-grown gemstones with recycled precious metals to create jewellery that's as kind to the planet as it is beautiful. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our stones to every aspect of our craft.
Recycled precious metals are gold, silver, and platinum that have been reclaimed from existing jewellery, industrial applications, and electronic components, then refined to the same purity standards as newly mined metals.
Important: Recycled metals are chemically identical to newly mined metals. There is absolutely no difference in quality, purity, appearance, or durability. The only difference is their origin—and their significantly lower environmental impact.
Eliminates the need for destructive mining operations that cause deforestation, habitat loss, and water pollution.
Recycling metals uses up to 95% less water than mining and refining new metals from ore.
Recycling precious metals requires significantly less energy than mining and processing virgin materials.
Lower carbon emissions throughout the production process compared to traditional mining.
Keeps valuable materials in use, reducing waste and the demand for new mining.
Same purity, beauty, and durability as newly mined metals—certified to the same standards.
The Reality: Traditional gold mining is one of the most environmentally destructive industries in the world. By choosing recycled metals, we eliminate the need for this damage entirely.
Our recycled precious metals undergo a rigorous refining process to ensure they meet the highest purity standards:
Precious metals are collected from old jewellery, industrial scrap, and electronic components.
Materials are carefully sorted by metal type and purity level.
Metals are melted and refined to remove impurities, achieving 99.9%+ purity.
Refined metals are tested and certified to meet industry purity standards.
Pure recycled metals are crafted into beautiful jewellery by our skilled artisans.

Yes, absolutely. Recycled gold is chemically identical to newly mined gold. After refining, it achieves the same 99.9%+ purity and is indistinguishable in quality, appearance, and durability. It's hallmarked to the same standards.
No. Once refined, recycled metals are molecularly identical to newly mined metals. There is no visual, physical, or chemical difference whatsoever. Even expert jewellers cannot tell them apart.
Yes. Recycled metals have identical durability and longevity to newly mined metals. Your jewellery will last for generations with proper care, regardless of whether the metal is recycled or newly mined.
Recycled precious metals come from old jewellery, industrial scrap, dental applications, and electronic components. These materials are collected, refined to high purity, and certified before being crafted into new jewellery.
Recycled metals are priced similarly to newly mined metals as they meet the same purity standards. The real value is in the environmental and ethical benefits—you get the same quality whilst protecting the planet.
