Our Priority
Rhapsody in Gold’s utmost priority is to create responsible and ethical jewellery without compromising quality. We are committed to exclusively working with ethical suppliers that are aligned with us and strive after our goal: to reduce impact in every aspect whilst creating our brand.
Our Materials
We chose to use a material that is continually recyclable in our designs. Gold can be easily melted and created into a new piece without losing its quality and value. Not only reducing the negative impact on the environment through mining and extraction, but we are also reducing energy use in primary production.
Our handmade jewellery is made from 18k recycled gold - meaning leftover gold dust from when we solder or saw, the sprues and remains from castings. These are all poured into a small furnace in our workshop to melt into liquid then poured into a mold to give the gold a new life – a piece of jewellery that can last a long time.
Our Process
All our pieces are slowly and individually handcrafted in our small studio workshop in Hong Kong. Each piece is made to order minimizing waste and avoiding large factories that produce harsh chemicals and toxic environments.
Our Packaging
The packaging and stationary used at Rhapsody in Gold is predominantly recycled materials and recycled paper. As presentation is important when it comes to gifting, we consciously chose to provide boxes that have no logo so that the boxes can be reused for other jewellery. For those who are self-gifting, we provide an option during checkout where a jewellery pouch can be selected instead. This option is great for reducing waste if a box is not needed and saving space in your safe. It’s also a great option for storing your jewellery when travelling!
