At Amanda Jewellery, we offer Single Mine Origin (SMO) gold, ensuring full traceability from a specific mine through refining and manufacturing. SMO gold is physically segregated throughout the entire supply chain and never mixed with other sources, allowing its origin to be verified at every stage.
Beyond traceability, SMO gold supports strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. Many SMO mines actively contribute to local communities in Africa through employment, infrastructure development and long-term social programmes, creating measurable positive impact where mining takes place.
The SMO programme has also expanded geographically. In addition to African sources, clients now have access to carbon-neutral SMO gold from Australia, including gold produced at the Bellevue Gold Mine, which has achieved net-zero emissions for scope 1 and scope 2 operations through renewable energy use.
As an all-in-house manufacturer, Amanda refines gold within its sister company, with SMO gold refined separately to preserve its certified origin and status. This allows us to offer our clients gold that combines full transparency with responsible sourcing — from the mine to the finished piece.
Recent coverage in the Financial Times reflects the growing industry interest in certified, traceable gold and the evolution of responsible sourcing practices. The original article is available here: Financial Times — Responsible Gold Sourcing.
