a fully audited process to guarantee that the product you have purchased is made from 100% recycled gold.”


Because of the meticulous care we take to achieve the levels of segregation required and the auditing of the various processes, it’s true that Ecogold is a little more expensive than traditionally-mined gold but then, as a jewellery maker, if you want to be as good as gold in the eyes of your customers, we think you’ll agree that it’s worth it!


Fairmined for the fairminded. Ecogold isn’t the only thing that’s green about Cookson these days, Our ‘Green Umbrella’ strategy is designed to provide our customers with a choice of recycled, green and ethical solutions.


Imaginative jewellery designers are putting together found and recycled elements these days to create exciting and unique pieces.


Let's Upcycle!


Why not take the recycling theme a step further by combining Cookson Ecogold with your own recycled bits and bobs? It’s a great way to create one-off pieces that you can be sure no one else will be wearing at the cocktail party!


And you won’t be alone. Imaginative jewellery designers right around the world are putting together found and recycled elements these days to create exciting and unique pieces. A notable example from the UK the amusingly-named ‘Hairy Growler Jewellery Company’.


As well as Ecogold, Cookson supports the Fairtrade initiative in buying, converting and distributing Fairmined gold. Cookson sites also set annual targets for reducing water and power consumption while looking into the possibility of achieving zero landfi ll recycling status.

Each piece of our jewellery is crafted from 100% recycled raw materials. Everything we create is unique, ‘one-off ’.


Not only that but Hairy Growler’s latest venture, ‘The Lucky Sixpence’ collection, is based on the novel idea of transforming out of circulation coins into fun, original and highly wearable pendants. Some are sterling silver, some pre- 1919 English coins while others are merely ordinary pre-decimalization sixpences, pennies and halfpennies! Each and every piece is 100% recycled, handcrafted, unique, ‘one-off ’ and incredibly beautiful. The delicacy with which the various motifs at the heart of each coin are hand cut to create a wonderful pierced eff ect is a real work of art. And it’s fascinating to see how an ordinary, even familiar coin can be totally transformed into something so fresh, unusual and special.
