Recycled gold — a New Trend? Why Orxata Transforming Jewelry is a Sustainable Brand

Everyone knows that the world is moving towards conscious consumption, consumption with respect for the planet and its ecology. This is a great trend that can be traced in many industries, and jewelry is just one of them. More and more brands and manufacturers are creating eco-friendly jewelry, and Orxata Transforming Jewelry is among them.

We are a sustainable brand that uses recycled gold in all our pieces. This is our conscious choice in favor of ethics, the environment, and the future of the industry. So, today, we want to share in more detail what this means for you, for us, and for the world.

What Is Recycled Gold, and Why Is It Important?

Recycled gold is a non-ferrous metal that has already been in use and then undergone a process of purification and reintroduction into turnover without additional mining.

The use of this type of non-ferrous metal in jewelry production, as opposed to the traditional method of gold mining, helps reduce carbon emissions, cut water consumption, and preserve natural resources.

However, there are several types of recycled gold. Thus, in March 2025, the World Jewelry Confederation, CIBJO, officially presented an updated definition of the term and introduced three main types of recycled gold:

• Post-consumer recycled gold — means metal that has already been used in finished products (jewelry, watches, household items).

• Pre-consumer recycled gold — is the remnants of precious metal from production that did not reach the consumer but were recycled.

• A mixture of the two — gold that has been recycled several times, by both of the above methods.

Using recycled gold is a choice in favor of sustainable development and transparent processes in jewelry production. It is an ethical approach that minimizes environmental damage and supports the idea of a circular economy.

Orxata Jewelry: Making a Conscious Choice

Since its inception, Orxata Transforming Jewelry has followed modern trends in the jewelry industry — creating pieces that do not harm the environment. All of our products are made from recycled gold, because we care not only about how the jewelry looks, but also about the story and meaning it brings to the consumer.

But we go beyond that. Every Orxata piece is a transforming design. It can be changed, adapted, and combined to create new looks — without the need for additional purchases.

So, by choosing products from our catalog, you:

• support a sustainable jewelry brand;

• reduce your own ecological footprint;

• get universal transforming jewelry that remains relevant for years and looks new every day.

Beauty with care for the planet is the true luxury of the future.
