Manly Bands was created so that EVERYONE could have a buying experience with reverence, class, and love during the selection process. Manly Bands sources materials from suppliers who meet responsible sourcing standards. Exotic materials including meteorite and fossilized dinosaur bone are certified authentic and responsibly acquired. The brand is actively developing a dedicated sustainability and sourcing transparency page to document supplier standards, material origins, and ongoing commitments, check the About section for the most current information. Manly Bands operates direct-to-consumer, which removes the retail markup typical of jewelry stores. The same craftsmanship and material standards are maintained without the overhead being passed to the customer. Licensed and exotic material rings are competitively priced given that they use certified authentic components, not synthetic approximations. Manly Bands does not use diamonds or gemstones in the majority of its catalog, which eliminates the primary conflict mineral concern for most ring buyers. For rings containing gold or platinum, metals are sourced through suppliers aligned with responsible sourcing standards. Full sourcing documentation is available on request through the support team.
