WHY RECLAIMED COSTS MORE +
Mined copper starts as ore. Ours starts as industrial cable waste — and has to earn its way back to jewelry grade before it can become anything at all.
Seven steps before it is even a material
- Traceable collection — qualified industrial copper cable waste, source and batch documented
- Pre-treatment & dismantling — connectors, impurities and unusable components removed
- Shredding & stripping — copper cores separated from their outer insulation
- Copper & plastic separation — the metal recovered, the plastic sorted into its own stream
- Material testing — purity, impurities and heavy metals checked against jewelry safety requirements
- Melting & refining — remelted and refined to a stable composition
- Casting — poured into ingots, then worked into sheet, wire and profiles

Copper is infinitely recyclable. Remelting does not degrade it. What gets thrown away is never the metal itself — only the shape someone stopped needing.
