gold recycling

We all know the benefits of recycling. You can carry that love into your new custom creations at Darvier. We can simply give you credit to financially offset your project or present to you the many options to incorporate a sentimental element into your finished piece.

If aunt Betty’s 14k yellow cocktail ring is not to your taste, we could use the gold to cast a 14k part (like one of the stone settings or a flower for example) to be added to your design. Broken chains, solo earrings, coins, bullion and any gold trinket qualifies. And yes, my dear aunt Betty did have a penchant for over-the-top, perfectly glamourous jewelry. Her cocktail ring is now a tasteful set of custom sister rings and pendants in our own small family heirloom collection.

We take old gold and put it in molds and do with it what we're told. Some gold gets rolled, some gold gets sold.


this is Metal!

These are the core metals we use in manufacturing your jewelry. We can offset your project financially by using the material you provide for recycling allowing us to use any metal you wish. Additional metals not shown are alloys like 9k British standards and custom mixed colors for expertly matching our restorations. Titanium & Stainless steel is featured on our custom machined page

p.s. Darvier does not work with Tungsten. It is a very brittle ceramic alloy that must be shattered off your finger in case of emergency. Not a great experience having an EMT crack your ring off when adrenaline is racing through you. Nope.
