Responsible Gold Mining: Traceability = Accountability
We are proud to exclusively use SMO Gold from the Ity Mine located in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The Ity mine stands as a beacon of sustainability and responsible mining practices in Côte d'Ivoire, with a legacy spanning over 25 years. Before SMO, only a tiny portion of the gold in the world was fully traceable, due to the nature of how it is mined, refined and sold. The origins of SMO Gold and its segregated journey across the processing, refining and sales chain is fully traceable by way of a QR code & single batch number.
