Empowering Artisans: The Ethical Promise of Boma Jewelry Wholesale
At Boma Jewelry Wholesale, a B Corp certified sustainable jewelry brand based in Seattle, we are as committed to our ethical manufacturing practices as we are to the quality of our products. As we reach out to new retailers looking for a responsible source of wholesale jewelry, we want to emphasize what makes Boma stand out—not just as a business, but as a community of artisans and creators. Here are three crucial aspects of our operations that underscore our dedication to ethical manufacturing.
1. High Standards and Best Practices for Our Artisans
At the heart of Boma Jewelry is our rigorous commitment to the artisans who craft each piece of our jewelry. We employ a handmade process known as the "lost wax casting" technique, a mostly handmade method that ensures the unique touch of artisanal craftsmanship in every piece. This process is meticulous and requires skilled hands, which is why each piece of jewelry passes through the hands of over 22 artisans from start to finish.
This extensive involvement of artisans means we are deeply invested in their well-being and professional development. Boma Jewelry is committed to maintaining high standards and best practices that honor and support our workers. We provide extensive training to all new artisans, ensuring they are skilled not only in jewelry making but in sustaining a career in this craft. Furthermore, our compensation packages are designed to be competitive, offering wages and benefits that reflect the skill and dedication our workers bring to their roles.
2. Supportive Worker Programs and Family Benefits
Understanding the significant role our employees play in our success, Boma Jewelry extends its support beyond the workplace. We offer various worker programs, including scholarships for the children of our employees, to ensure that the benefits of working at Boma extend to our artisans' families. These programs are part of our commitment to the community that builds our company, supporting education and development as pathways to a better future for our workers and their loved ones.
3. A Predominantly Female Workforce
At Boma Jewelry, we are proud to highlight that our workforce is predominantly female, with a ratio of 2:1. This not only supports gender diversity and women's empowerment in the workplace but also reflects our broader commitment to equality and inclusion. By fostering a supportive and empowering environment for our female artisans, we contribute to broader social changes, challenging industry norms and promoting women in artisanal and manufacturing roles.
Conclusion
For retailers looking for an ethical, sustainable source of wholesale jewelry, Boma Jewelry Wholesale offers more than high-quality products. We provide the peace of mind that comes from supporting a brand that values its people as much as its products.
By choosing Boma, you're not just purchasing jewelry; you're supporting a model of business that uplifts its workforce, embraces artisanal heritage, and sets a standard for what ethical manufacturing should look like in the jewelry industry.
We invite new retailers to join us in this journey, to carry products that are beautifully crafted and ethically made, and to be part of a story that changes lives for the better. Let’s make a difference together—one piece of jewelry at a time.
