Our Standard of Integrity: Verified Sourcing

I believe that true luxury is transparent. After over 23 years in the industry, I launched my own Chicago studio, built on the principle that beauty should never come at the cost of the planet or its people.

To ensure our "Modern Heirlooms" live up to this promise, I utilize a Dual-Impact Sourcing model verified by the world’s most rigorous third-party auditors.

1. SCS Global Services (Recycled Content)

The primary metal for all Gina Rose castings is 100% Recycled Gold and Silver. We partner exclusively with refineries and casting houses that maintain the SCS-103 Certified Recycled Content Standard.

• What it means: This certification guarantees that our metal is reclaimed from existing jewelry and industrial sources, entirely bypassing the need for new mining.

• The Audit: SCS Global Services performs rigorous on-site audits to verify the "Chain of Custody," ensuring the metal in our studio is exactly what we claim it to be.

2. Fairmined Gold (Ethical Communities)

For our findings—including chains, clasps, and jump rings—we source Licensed Fairmined metal. While recycled metal protects the environment, Fairmined metal protects the people.

• What it means: Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations.

• The Impact: Your purchase directly contributes to social development, environmental protection, and fair wages in mining communities that have committed to mercury-free processing.

3. Handcrafted in Chicago (Local Integrity)

Beyond the materials, we believe in the integrity of labor. Every piece of Gina Rose jewelry is finished, polished, and inspected in our Chicago, IL studio. By keeping our production local, we maintain total oversight of our quality and well-being of our artisans.

"Integrity is what happens when no one is looking. But at Gina Rose, we invite you to look closer." — Gina Rose
