At Sophia Perez Jewellery, what we choose to craft with is just as important as how we design. That’s why every SPJ piece is made using recycled platinum and gold — not just as a nod to sustainability, but as a quiet commitment to responsibility, intention, and legacy.
What does “recycled” really mean?
Recycled metals are not secondhand — they’re simply re-refined materials. Think vintage gold melted down and purified to be used again, or reclaimed platinum from old industrial uses. The result? A metal that’s identical in quality and strength to newly mined versions, but without the added environmental cost.
Why it matters
The mining industry, while essential, often comes with a heavy ecological footprint. Land disruption, water use, and carbon emissions are just part of the story. By choosing recycled precious metals, we reduce the demand for new mining — and lower our impact without compromising beauty or durability.
For us, this isn’t a trend — it’s a standard.
Beauty, with meaning
Every SPJ ring carries a story. And knowing that your piece was crafted using consciously sourced materials only deepens that meaning. Whether it’s a salt and pepper diamond in recycled yellow gold, or a lab-grown diamond held in sculptural platinum claws — it’s a design choice, and a values choice.
Modern heirlooms, built with care
Jewellery is personal. Often generational. So when we talk about modern heirlooms, we mean pieces that honour both past and future — in style and in sourcing.
Recycled metals let us design pieces that not only look timeless, but also respect the world they’ll live in for decades to come.
