Darling Itself

We are proud to say that all the gold material we use for production, is sourced in the US from top precious metal companies.

We work with multiple gem companies to ensure we can get the most ethically sourced gems and stones.

We also plan on participating in the Body Jewelry Verification Program through the Association of Professional Piercers when Phase 2 rolls out.
