All gold we use is 100 percent recycled – purchased from three reputable vendors in the United States. In addition, we recycle some of our own gold on site where possible. This ensures that every piece of BVLA jewelry is conflict-free and responsibly produced.
BVLA pledges to monitor country-level risks relating to the sourcing of diamonds and colored gemstones. Where necessary, BVLA will exclude certain countries from its supply chain to uphold ethical business practices and responsible sourcing standards.
Grounds for Exclusion
Countries may be excluded where sanctions are imposed by the United Nations Security Council or the United States government. BVLA refers to the following sources to assess and determine exclusion decisions.
United States Financial Sanctions List
United Nations Security Council Sanctions Information
In addition, we use other reliable information sources and insights from suppliers, stakeholders, and industry bodies to assess country risk. If conditions improve, BVLA may remove a country from the Exclusion List following review. The current Exclusion List and further details about the criteria can be viewed or downloaded.
