Gold Standard
Our gold is sourced from a single verified mine only.
Our gold is sourced from a single verified mine only.
Net Zero
Bellevue became the world’s first gold mine to achieve net-zero onsite Scope 1 and 2 emissions, ahead of its 2026 target.
Lineage
Lineage
Each 12 creation can be traced back to the exact mine from which its gold originates through a documented chain of custodial practices.
Transparency
An independent dataset tracks environmental and ethical performance directly at the mine level.
Twelve Tonnes
In 2025, sales of SMO gold reached over £1.4 billion, with mines generating twelve tonnes of responsibly sourced gold globally.
Each 12 creation is accompanied by precise documentation, verifying the origin and transit route of the gold to your hands.

THE PRINCIPLE
Traceability
Fine materials are defined not only by what they are, but by their origin and what that represents.
Purity
Provenance is encapsulated within every finished piece as a form of material accountability.
