Every step and incarnation of Prada\u2019s responsible gold and diamond production chain is verifiable and traceable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prada\u2019s recycled gold is drawn only from eligible recycled material sources, including industrial gold, and post-consumer precious objects. Prada partners exclusively with those suppliers of precious metal and stones who meet the highest industry standards concerning human rights, labour safety, environmental impact, and business ethics. The reduction of mining of new gold benefits both environments and human rights, and while traceability of diamond origins is conventionally only possible with stones of 0.5 carat or larger, Prada expands the concept, for the first time, to stones of all sizes. It also extends through the entire value-chain, from mining to cutting, setting and polishing \u2013 every step of every diamond\u2019s life can be traced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-743x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17792 lazyload\" width=\"600\" height=\"826\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-743x1024.jpg 743w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-768x1058.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-450x620.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-225x310.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet-70x96.jpg 70w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Eternal-Gold-Mate-to-Order-Upper-Arm-Bracelet.jpg 871w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Eternal Gold made-to-order upper arm bracelet.

The triangle appears in every piece as a clasp closure, earrings and pendants, while its angles shape chain links and hearts, the head of a snaked bracelet.

The new patent-pending technology capitalises on the successful Xpandable technology that allows bracelets and rings to expand and contract and adds the versatile element of reversibility, creating two designs in one. The new bracelets can easily be flipped over while on the wrist to reveal a different design. Reversible Xpandable rings, necklaces, and earrings will also be available soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-721x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17795 lazyload\" width=\"602\" height=\"854\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-768x1091.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-450x639.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-225x320.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-20x28.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6-68x96.jpg 68w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMAGE-6.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>On model: Bracelets from the Reversible Xpandable\u2122 Collection.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn over five decades of brilliance, one common complaint from the women I have met has been a sense of hesitation to wear their fine jewellery every day, particularly diamonds, or the sense of limitation as it relates to colour-coordinating coloured gemstones,\u201d says Giuseppe Picchiotti, Founder, picchiotti. \u201cI love the idea of technology that can solve problems! In the same way that we solved the problems of ring sizing and cumbersome bracelet clasps with our Xpandable technology, we have now tackled the issue of design versatility. Our new bracelets feature completely different designs \u2013 luxurious diamonds on one side and solid gold on the other, or sapphires on one side for wearing with cool hues in the wardrobe and rubies on the other to wear with blacks, neutrals, and warmer-toned fabrics. We have only just begun!
