Gold that respectswhat comes next.
Responsibly sourced metal, closed-loop workshops, and packaging that doesn't outlive the piece inside.
Gold is forever — our footprint should not be.
Responsible sourcing
We work only with refiners aligned to LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance. Every batch arrives with chain-of-custody documentation confirming it is conflict-free.
Closed-loop workshop
Bench dust, polish residue, sweepings and rework are 100% recovered through partnered refiners and returned to stock — nothing is sent to landfill.
Mindful packaging
Our velvet boxes use recycled card cores. Inserts are FSC-certified paperboard. Plastic films are being phased out in favour of compostable alternatives by 2026.
Energy & water
Our Mumbai facility runs 40% on rooftop solar today, with a target of 80% by 2027. Water used in casting & polishing is filtered and re-circulated in a closed loop.
People & craft
Sustainability is also about people — fair pay, safe benches and continuous up-skilling for the karigars whose hands carry the craft forward.
