Why Choose Recycled Silver Jewelry?

Recycled silver jewelry starts with silver that’s already lived one life (or maybe five). We give old silver, like broken jewelry, dental x-rays and electronics, a second shot, turning it into handmade rings, earrings and bracelets you’ll actually want to wear. Choosing recycled silver helps reduce waste, save energy and avoid the dirty business of new mining. Plus, it’s a pretty great conversation starter.

Recycled Silver Rings for Everyday Wear

Our recycled silver rings with bezel or prong settings are perfect for stacking, gifting or making your daily coffee run feel like an event. Each ring is handcrafted from genuine recycled sterling silver, finished by skilled hands, and ready to find its forever fingers. 

We also have a special collection for sterling silver engagement rings and silver wedding rings.

Recycled Silver FAQ

Does recycled silver jewelry tarnish?

Yes, all silver jewelry tarnishes, whether it’s recycled or freshly mined. Tarnish happens when the copper and silver in silver jewelry reacts with air, but a quick polish brings back the shine. Recycled sterling silver doesn’t tarnish any faster than new silver, and regular wear and gentle cleaning keep it looking radiant.

What’s the difference between sterling silver and fine silver?

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, making it durable for everyday wear. Fine silver is 99.9% pure, softer, and less suitable for rings or daily jewelry.
