FIND OUT MOREWe ethically source and supply loose stones and create bespoke jewellery in our workshops in London’s Hatton Garden, and utilise local businesses to ensure we maintain a low carbon footprint and support the local community.
Philip Spencer founded London DE in 2013 with a desire to build an ethical and sustainable business revolving around his love for gemstones and jewellery. Since then, his team has expanded significantly both internationally and in terms of third party delivery partners.
We carefully monitor the entire length of our supply chain and only work with partners who have a detailed policy relating to their own supply chains. As proud members of the Responsible Jewellery Council and the National Association of Jewellers, we are working hard to ensure that we operate in an ethical and considerate fashion.
We have paperless offices and we have taken steps to minimise our carbon footprint by working with local businesses and workshops in London to minimise journey distance.
Where possible, we produce our finished products as close to source as possible. We operate a workshop in Bogota, Colombia, employing local craftspeople on a fair and equitable basis.
