Panned gold comes in different shapes and sizes. We recently made a ring for someone using gold they had panned themselves.

I don't know what it was about the flakes but they inspired me to make more nature-inspired jewellery.

It seems silly to keep mining when we already have so much gold. And people don't buy gold the way they used to. It makes so much more sense to use what we have. Melt what you don't wear. Turn it into something you will wear and recognize it's value.
