Regeneration
We're committed to adding beauty to the world in every way possible. That means making a climate-positive impact at each stage of our process, from responsible material sourcing to thoughtful business operations. As part of this commitment, we continue to partner with Regeneration to rehabilitate legacy mine sites and restore natural ecosystems. We've also begun sourcing carbon-neutral precious materials to broaden our product offering, keeping sustainability in mind.
A Revolutionary Re-Mining Initiative
We’re tremendously proud to be a Founding Partner and the exclusive jewelry sector partner of Regeneration—an important partnership enabling us to meaningfully invest in regenerative practices, provide expertise, and address challenges that have plagued our industry and environment for years.
Hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines, operated before environmental laws surrounding closure processes were introduced, deemed "legacy mines," exist around the world. If left untreated, legacy mines can pollute sensitive watersheds, ecosystems, and impact native species.
"There’s power in partnership. Our Salmon Gold™ program reaches the most remote streams in Alaska and the Yukon. With partners like Mejuri, Apple, and Italpreziosi we bring community and restoration value. The result is a unique piece of jewelry that we can all be proud of."
—Stephen D'Esposito, CEO, Regeneration
Regeneration utilizes modern, efficient mining practices to extract valuable minerals from mine tailings, waste rock, and water surrounding these sites, helping to clean and restore the environment while attaining minerals in a far more eco-friendly fashion.
Not only will these precious minerals help in our global energy transition, but earnings from the sale of these responsibly sourced materials will be reinvested to help fund habitat restoration and mine closure activities, including at legacy and former mine sites.
Regeneration will also seek to create and trade biodiversity and carbon credits by rehabilitating land and generating environmental offsets.
Supporting Salmon Gold
An initiative from the NGO RESOLVE , Salmon Gold™ produces gold while restoring vital habitat for salmon and other wild species. The partnership re-mines legacy gold mine sites and restores fish habitats using sustainable techniques across Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and British Columbia.
As founding members of Regeneration, we were able to secure the first commercial quantity of 100% traceable, carbon-positive Salmon Gold™. In 2024, we procured approximately 9 kg and transformed this material into a special product collection.
Our second collection will arrive in summer 2025.
