The realities of life in the Democratic Republic of Congo are very close to our hearts at Beloved. Many of us have family and friends impacted by the ongoing conflict and the perpetual exploitation of the DRC’s natural resources. All around the world, so many of the precious materials, that we rely on for our cell phones, laptops, cars and other essential items to function, originate in the DRC.

We have created these earrings to draw attention to a few of the precious materials mined in the DRC, the exploitation of which contribute to the ongoing conflict. Funds raised will go to the UN’s DRC Humanitarian Fund.
