The Royal Mint launches a jewelry line made of gold recovered from electronic waste

Founded in 886, The Royal Mint might well be Britain's oldest company that's still in business. Named for that heritage, the mint's new 886 collection was designed by jeweler Dominic Jones and features modern, genderless pieces, including earrings, rings, studs and cuffs.

What makes 886 truly shine is the origin of the gold its made of. It's the first luxury jewelry brand to use 100% recovered gold sourced from discarded electronic waste — taking scraps from devices that were used for a few years, and turning them into valuable objects that can be handed down from one generation to the next.
