Single Mine Origin Gold - A conscious choice at Mads Z
At Mads Z, quality, craftsmanship and responsible materials are the cornerstone of everything we create. That's why we use SMO Gold (Single Mine Origin) in our 14 karat gold jewellery. This means that the gold in our designs originates from one specific, responsibly operated mine, where we can follow its journey all the way from extraction to the finished jewellery.
In an industry where traceability is often a challenge, SMO Gold gives us the transparency we need to ensure that our gold is mined under decent conditions - both socially and environmentally. By choosing SMO certified gold, we know exactly where it comes from and we can vouch that it is mined with respect for both people and nature. The working conditions in the mine meet high ethical standards, ensuring fair conditions for the people working to extract the gold. At the same time, there is a focus on minimising environmental impact through responsible methods and a sustainable approach to mining.
Another important factor of SMO Gold is the direct support to the local community around the mine. Part of the profits from the mining operations go back into investments in schools, healthcare, infrastructure and social projects that improve the living conditions of the people living and working in the area. In this way, SMO Gold not only contributes to a more transparent jewellery industry, but also to the positive development of the communities where the gold is mined.
When you choose a piece of jewellery from Mads Z, you are not only choosing a design created with passion and precision - you are also choosing a piece of jewellery where the materials have been carefully selected. SMO Gold is a step towards a more responsible future, and we are proud to be part of this development.
