Here at Pruden and Smith we have always recycled precious metals: from small melts of your sentimental inherited jewellery to old silver tea sets.

This has many advantages on top of the obvious economic ones: The environment will inevitably suffer from further mining.

There is also a lamentable tradition of unnecessary human exploitation in mining for precious metals.

To make a difference in this area, our trade has been working hard to introduce ‘Fairtrade’ gold and now it is available through our bullion suppliers.

So if new material is needed, we can purchase it for the extra cost of about 15%.
