The Valley Rose standard is set high and Brittany takes pride in her jewelry knowing that each piece holds incredible sentimental value for her customers.
From the mine to your jewelry box we work hard to ensure fair pay for every member in our supply chain. We focus our efforts on designing with materials that offer full transparency and believe this is a positive first step in bringing about equity and a sustainable future in the jewelry industry.
We offer a variety of alternative ethical gemstones like artisanally mined, certified recycled, lab grown, SCS Sustainably Rated diamonds, and lab grown diamonds made from air pollution. We continue to audit and improve upon our supply chain as the industry evolves. We are forging relationships with suppliers that are working directly with the miners and cutters and improving the industry for the better.
From the moment you place your order the exciting production process begins on your special piece of jewelry. First stop is the CAD design where we map out every gemstone and ensure everything fits perfectly. Next step your piece goes to casting where it is casted in fairmined gold color of your choice. And lastly your piece makes its way to our jewelers in Brooklyn where we clip, grind, stone set and polish your piece to perfection. We are a small jewelry studio and keep a very small inventory of ready to ship designs. So unless your piece says “ready to ship” you can expect your jewelry to be made to order. Our “slow jewelry” process allows our little studio to stay in business by keeping a sustainable production model and allows us to only make the exact jewelry that is needed instead of excessive inventory.
