From scrap to solitaire: how we cast recycled gold
Every Maré ring starts as a carved piece of wax and a crucible of reclaimed gold. This is the full journey, step by step, from the refinery to your finger.
Ida Mørk
Founder and goldsmith
Ida trained as a goldsmith in Copenhagen and spent six years setting stones for other houses before founding Maré in 2019. She designs every piece, still casts most of the collection herself and believes jewellery should be worn daily, not kept in a box. Ask her about wax carving and she will talk for an hour.
