Sustainability has never looked more luxurious. The Royal Mint’s philosophy has circularly at its core, creating quality jewellery collections designed to last a lifetime. Their 886 collection uses gold reclaimed from electronic waste, and repurposed silver from NHS-discarded X-ray films, and crowns the company as pioneers of innovative technologies in reclaiming precious metals. The stunning jewellery, by award-winning British Creative Director Dominic Jones, is timeless and elegant and is inspired by The Royal Mint’s heritage and expertise as Britain’s oldest maker. Although the majority of Dominic’s designs are made from reclaimed silver and gold, their jewellery also features lab-grown diamonds, a less-polluting and more ethical alternative to mined stones.
