忘れられたタイドネックレス
中央の石は、従来の方法で採掘された宝石の代替となる、採掘廃棄物から作られた「テクノフォッシル」です。宝石の切れ端やチップ（宝石彫刻師から）、スターリングシルバーの切れ端（ロキ社の生産から）、ウニの棘（ニューサウスウェールズ州の高級サプライヤーから回収した貝殻）、その他様々な回収材料を組み合わせて、自社で製作されています。
それぞれの作品は様々な素材を用いて手作りされているため、テクノ化石はそれぞれが唯一無二であり、複製不可能です。これは、地球にすでに存在する鉱物や素材の価値を再評価し、地球にさらなるダメージを与える素材の使用を避けることを目的とした、ロキによる継続的な研究活動の一環です。

SLOW MADE – オーストラリアの小さな宝石職人チームによる手作り

「泥だらけの岸辺に何かが打ち上げられた。地殻変動と地震の揺れで堆積物から引きずり出されたようだ。物事が長く静まり返ると必ずと言っていいほど割れる音だ。ペルム紀のものか？石炭紀のものか？どこか、いつか、この辺りで。でも何かおかしい。この辺りで見かけた他の化石とは似ていない…」

Often when companies manufacture their products in overseas factories, there is little to no transparency and oversight – leading to labour abuses, environmental pollution and compromised quality.
Although its more expensive, making Loki pieces in Australia ensures labour & environmental protections, and a high quality of life for every artisan that contributed to the piece.
If you trace the origin of precious metals extracted on an industrial scale, you find a wake of destruction. For example, to mine one ounce of gold, you need to process 2.8 tonnes of ore, use and contaminate ~2,286 litres of water, and generate 800kg of CO2.
With such extensive extraction, and all the damage that comes with industrial mining, it is time to rethink how we source the materials we use. Precious metals like silver and gold are incredible candidates for circularity. They are considered 'infinitely recyclable' because their chemical and physical properties do not degrade during the recycling process. With so much metal already available above-ground, it makes sense to recycle what we have and avoid newly mined metals.
