Dillon/Rose does Vertical Integration
From the inception of Dillon/Rose, eco-conscious practices and total respect for nature have been pillars of our business and personal lives. As a 1% For the Planet Partner, we give one percent of our sales back to support climate action initiatives. Our production processes and materials are also how we honor and care for Mother Earth. We thoughtfully and purposefully create our jewelry with recycled gold, sterling silver, conflict-free diamonds and 100% natural stones.
Another way we are mindful of the planet (and the quality of our goods) is through vertically integrated production - when a company creates a product or service in-house, from start to finish. This type of production allows us to be intentionally involved in each step of our process to create the highest quality goods in the most efficient way. Vertically integrated production isn’t cheap or easy, it requires experts in each step of production which can be challenging, but it also allows companies to oversee the ENTIRE production process. Most importantly for us it allows us to keep a close eye on quality and sustainability.
This is in line with our values - we believe in maintaining the highest quality of jewelry while creating equitable jobs in ethical ways. In short, vertically integrated production is not only more environmentally and socially responsible, but it helps us to maintain superior quality every step of the way."
