Celebrating Pride, Equality & Authenticity

At Paola & Dark, our mission has always been to create jewellery that empowers, pieces that don’t just accessorise, but affirm who you are. Our designs are bold, unapologetic, and crafted to reflect individuality. But beyond beauty and craftsmanship, our collections are built on something even more important: a deep-rooted belief in respect, inclusivity, and equality.

Our founder and CEO, Paola Bailey-Gunputh, is proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community, and this pride shapes the very heart of the brand. At Paola & Dark, we understand the power of feeling seen, valued, and accepted, and we believe that jewellery can be more than just decoration. It can be a symbol of identity, strength, and belonging.

That’s why you’ll find designs throughout our collection that feature the Pride flag colours, gender symbols, and rainbow-inspired motifs. Each piece is more than an accessory, it’s a small but powerful celebration of love, diversity, and self-expression.

“Respecting and valuing differences is fundamental to our company culture. We want everyone who wears Paola & Dark Jewels with Attitude to feel wanted and powerful,” says Paola. “I, myself, am part of the LGBTQ+ community and I want everyone to feel free and proud when they wear my collection.”

When you wear Paola & Dark, you're not just making a style statement, you’re wearing a piece of art designed to champion confidence, inclusivity, and equality. Whether you’re a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community or a dedicated ally, our jewels are here to help you shine, your way.

Love freely. Wear proudly.
Explore the Pride Collection and find a piece that speaks to you.
