APSE SWAP >
EARN CREDIT TOWARDS YOUR NEXT APSE PIECE BY SENDING US YOUR UNWANTED JEWELS
When you send your dusty pieces our way, we will evaluate and weigh the piece, calculate its melt value based on the market, and send you a little apse credit ($) in return before recycling it back into our production cycle.
We have already eliminated the waste typically created by over-production through our made-to-order model and dedication to using recycled precious metals, but our apse swap program brings everything full circle and allows us to eliminate waste created by our production system as a whole, giving you the chance to keep your most meaningful pieces true to you.
