Bario-Neal Background:

Anna Bario and Page Neal introduced their two woman operation to the Philadelphia community in the spring of 2007. A high standard of craftsmanship, a commitment to responsible materials and a focus on the details have allowed them to create valuable pieces that support the environment while meeting their customers’ needs. Page & Anna handcraft every piece to order, so they can help clients choose from the Bario-Neal collections or work directly with clients to design a custom piece of jewelry.

Through sketches, photographs, and computer generated design,  Anna & Page are able to work with clients from all over the world with a guarantee that the final design will reflect the clients' vision. Whether it is through the reuse of heirloom materials or an extensive customization process, Bario-Neal works to create meaningful jewelry with a unique perspective of beauty and a grounded effort toward socially conscious design. 

Bario-Neal Materials & Studio Practices:

Metals: Bario-Neal uses 100% reclaimed precious metals whenever possible, derived from recycled jewelry or industrial materials.

Stones: Bario-Neal uses ethically sourced colored gem stones and conflict-free diamonds.

Chains: Chain made from recycled metal is not currently available and the vintage chain market is limited. Bario-Neal uses vintage chains and chains manufactured by trusted U.S. vendors. Bario-Neal works with a coalition of jewelers to encourage manufacturers to produce chains with recycled metals. 

Studio Practices: Bario-Neal uses low-impact, environmentally conscious studio practices to lessen our footprint. Bario-Neal also supports Jeweler's Row in Philadelphia, and is a member of the Philadelphia Sustainable Business Network. 

Bario-Neal's Involvement with Industry Initiatives:

The Bario-Neal research blog shares information about materials, projects, processes, responsible vendors, and current issues within the jewelry industry.

Bario-Neal participates in the Madison Dialogue: a cross-sector initiative established to promote communication and collaboration among companies, civil society groups and others seeking to encourage best practices, sustainable economic development, and verified sources of responsible gold, diamonds and other minerals.
