As demand from consumers for more transparent supply chains increases, Bario Neal has set itself apart with its ethically sourced and consciously made jewelry. The brand boasts a varied selection of rings, bands, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that are 100% handmade.
The metal used to create Bario Neal's jewelry is reclaimed to prevent the 20 tons of mining waste an average gold ring typically creates. In addition, the gold is fair mined to support small-scale mining communities and artisanal while the gemstones are all traceable to establish and support newly-engaged responsible minors. Lastly, all the laborers used to create pieces at Bario Neal have safe working conditions and fair wages at each part of the supply chain.
