The company is committed to responsible sourcing, using recycled gold from e-waste, such as old computer motherboards, which provides a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional mining. They also source diamonds from the world’s first certified 100% carbon-neutral diamond producer, promoting ethical production practices and reducing environmental impact. Bayou with Love partners with a Los Angeles-based manufacturing facility that focuses on sustainable practices, such as recycling and reusing water, refining and recycling trace metals, and minimizing environmental harm. By using recycled precious metals, they ensure the same quality as newly mined materials without the negative environmental consequences.
Their “Regenerate” initiative highlights their dedication to making a positive environmental impact. In partnership with Greenspark, they plant three trees for every order received, contributing to EarthLung’s Mangrove Restoration Project in Kenya, which supports local communities, biodiversity, and the environment. Mangroves play a vital role in stabilizing coastlines, preventing erosion, and capturing carbon emissions. Additionally, for every engagement ring purchased, 100 trees are planted. Their jewelry boxes are made from sustainable materials like bamboo linen fabric and biomass foam padding, and they use recyclable shipping materials to minimize waste.
Bayou with Love’s innovative partnership with Dell focuses on creating sustainable jewelry by recovering gold from discarded technology. This collaboration began when Dell approached Nikki Reed with the idea of transforming e-waste into beautiful jewelry. The partnership has resulted in a variety of jewelry pieces, including rings, earrings, and cufflinks, all made from recycled gold sourced from e-waste.
Their extensive collection features a variety of rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, often adorned with diamonds, sapphires, and other precious stones. Prices for rings typically range from $200 to $2,000, necklaces from $150 to $1,500, earrings from $100 to $1,200, and bracelets from $150 to $1,000. They offer international shipping as well.
