Moving into Working with Gold with Ange B

In this week's episode, Jess chats with Ange B, a jeweller who makes architectural style jewellery and who features in the third episode of Handmade Jewellers. Ange discusses her journey into working with gold in her jewellery business and explains how she transitioned from working mainly in silver to incorporating gold into her designs. Initially hesitant due to ethical concerns about gold plating, Ange eventually began using recycled gold, starting with a collection featuring mixed metals and gradually adding more gold pieces to her existing collections.
She describes her experiences working with 9ct and 14ct gold, emphasising the learning curve and the importance of maintaining her ethical principles in her business practices. Ange's approach highlights a gradual and thoughtful integration of gold into her jewellery line, driven by customer demand and personal growth in her craft.

This was inspirational. I am a bookbinder who is planning on doing some metalwork for my books and am transitioning to be more eco-centred and ethical, such as recycled paper and not using any plastic beads in my jewellery so it was an interesting video to see how someone else is transitioning to become more fully ethical.
