How verification works
Every seller on our marketplace goes through a human-reviewed verification process before their listings go live. Here's how we keep it real:
- 1
Seller identity check
We verify each seller is a real person operating a legitimate handmade business, not a reseller or dropshipper.
- 2
Workshop documentation
Sellers provide evidence of their workspace and process: photos, videos, or other documentation showing how items are made by hand.
- 3
Anti-slop image screening
Every listing image is checked against known dropship and stock-photo databases. Suspicious listings are held for human review before publication.
Frequently asked questions
What does a sustainable wedding look like in San Francisco?
San Francisco sustainable weddings emphasize ethical rings (recycled metals, conflict-free stones), zero-waste invitations (recycled paper, digital elements), organic catering, locally grown or dried flowers, reusable décor, and eco-friendly favors.

What does 'conflict-free' mean for wedding rings?
Conflict-free gemstones are sourced from mines that meet ethical labor and environmental standards, verified through supply chain documentation. San Francisco jewelers are often leaders in transparent sourcing, offering lab-grown diamonds, recycled metals, and fully traceable stone sourcing.
How does Verified Handmade ensure wedding vendor listings are genuinely handcrafted?
Every seller undergoes human review of their workshop, materials, and production process. Listing images are analyzed against known wholesale and dropship catalogs to confirm you are buying from a real artisan, not a reseller.
