SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is a cornerstone of D&H’s business, and we’ve been committed to green practices since day one. In addition, our owners personally travel the globe to verify responsible sourcing and clear custody chains. Furthermore, they meet with local suppliers, inspect their practices, and ensure they meet our high standards. Moreover, we’re dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint, supporting fair labor, and ensuring long-term economic sustainability. By integrating these principles, we aim to make a positive impact on both the planet and the communities we serve.
Therefore, understanding sustainability means knowing where resources come from and how they affect local communities and the environment. For example, did you know about Debswana in Botswana?
RECLAIMED PRECIOUS METALS
Sustainability has many facets. We only use upcycled metals. Our gold and platinum is primarily salvaged from the millions of tons of electronic waste (cell phones and computers) and spent industrial materials (auto and industrial) generated worldwide every year.
ETHICAL DIAMONDS AND GEMSTONES
Sustainability means collaborating with suppliers of natural diamonds and gemstones, ensuring they are sourced from community-focused, ethical origins. Our partnerships often involve direct sourcing from mining operations.
We acquire and up-cycle antique post-consumer Old Mine Cut and European Cut diamonds which adhere to our stringent quality standards.
Our colored gemstones and sapphires are bought directly from small, owner-operated mines with total transparency of origin- from mining to cutting and polishing.
COMMUNITY
Community is integral to sustainability. D&H is a neighborhood business that has enjoyed serving San Francisco for over a decade. We never mass-produce or outsource our jewelry overseas. Whether a custom creation or a piece in our showroom collection, D&H carefully plans each design. Our goal is to forge meaningful and lasting relationships with our community of clients, neighbors, and industry partners.
