Recycling your old jewelry - responsible or destructive?

One company, Foxy Originals, has started a recycling program where, if you send them your old Foxy jewelry, they will melt it down for re-use and send you a discount coupon to use on new styles.

I wonder what effect this may have on the collectibility of this jewelry. Now granted, it's a pretty new company, so at the moment, it would not be classified as vintage. But if it's jewelry that you believe will some day be collected, would this affect your decision to collect it now? Do you like the idea that they are promoting recycling, or cringing at the idea of perfectly good jewelry getting melted down?
