Responsible Practices

We are a family company – founded in 1996. From the beginning, honesty, integrity, transparency and fair treatment of anyone whom we encounter are our core principles. We work with vendors both across the globe and locally. We expect all our suppliers to adhere to these values in all their business practices. This is articulated in our code of conduct.

We recognize the mining of gold, diamonds and gemstones contributes to economic growth and development in many countries; However, mining and trading of these materials can also take place in regions affected by conflict, corruption, or poor governance which may compromise legitimate and responsible sourcing. In some cases, these activities may lead to human rights abuses, unethical practices, or the funding of conflict.

We, at BVLA (Body Vision Jewelry Inc.) recognize our responsibility to respect human rights. We believe that our business has a role to play in protecting and promoting human rights.

At BVLA, our love of nature isn't a policy position — it's personal. Many of us hike, surf, garden, and spend our weekends in the places we're working to protect and care about deeply.

At BVLA, responsible sourcing isn't a checkbox — it's a reflection of who we are. We've spent nearly three decades building relationships with suppliers we genuinely trust, people who share our belief that the materials in our jewelry should never come at the cost of human dignity or environmental harm. When you wear a piece of BVLA jewelry, we want you to feel good about every part of it — from the hands that shaped it to the earth it came from.

At BVLA, we believe that happy people make beautiful jewelry! — Modern slavery, forced labor, and human trafficking are violations of the most basic human dignity, and we have zero tolerance for any of it, anywhere in our business or supply chain. That's not a legal position. It's a moral one, and it matters to everyone who works here.

Becoming a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council in 2026 is something we're extremely proud of. It is something we worked hard for. The audit process was both lengthy and thorough. We are the only US Body Jewelry manufacturer to achieve this goal. It places us within a small club of accountable manufacturing luxury brands such as Cartier and Tiffany. Without doubt it adds legitimacy to the Body Jewelry industry as a whole.

Established in 1994, the Association of Professional Piercers is a California-based, international non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information about body piercing to piercers, health care professionals, legislators, and the general public. BVLA has been a corporate member for over 20 years (Since corporate memberships were first offered).

BVLA is proud to be a verified participant of the Body Jewelry Verification Program Phase 2 (Gold and Platinum).

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a powerful framework for the kind of company BVLA wants to be — and several of them speak directly to the work we're already doing. From responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) to decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), climate action (SDG 13), and reduced inequalities (SDG 10). The SDGs give language and structure to commitments we hold genuinely, not just on paper. We're a small company in a global industry, but we believe that scale is no excuse for inaction — and that the choices we make about materials, suppliers, and people add up to something that matters.

In 2026, Body Vision Los Angeles (BVLA) conducted a full review of its human rights, sustainability, and exclusion due diligence obligations.
