- Daniella Draper
PRODUCT
Responsible Materials
All our suppliers are verified by accrediting bodies designed to audit their ways of working and we opt for materials that come with documentation to show their origin. This ensures transparency across our supply chain and reinforces our commitment to responsible and ethical sourcing.
British Craftmanship
Our jewellery is a celebration of handcrafted excellence, hard work and skill. At our Lincolnshire Workshop, our team of highly skilled Silversmiths work with the upmost care and precision, crafting our recycled metal jewellery into pieces designed to last a lifetime. Every component of our jewellery is handcrafted and manufactured in England.
Circularity
In addition to using recycled metal within our jewellery, we regularly rework and upcycle antique and vintage jewellery pieces for true longevity and circularity. Each and every piece of scrap metal from machinery, dust filters, work benches and floor sweepings from within our Workshop is collected for recycling and reuse, down to the smallest filling.
IMPACT REPORT
At Daniella Draper, the inspiration we take from the natural world comes with an inherent responsibility to preserve and protect it. Each year, our Impact Report reflects on the progress we’ve made and outlines the steps we are taking to advance along our sustainability journey.
PACKAGING
All our jewellery comes in plastic free packaging and our bags and boxes are made using recyclable, responsibly sourced paper from well managed forests. Our jewellery pouches are crafted from a strong suedette material and are designed to be reused for jewellery storage.
ECO PACKAGING
We promote an eco-packaging option in store and online to reduce the volume of packaging we use. In 2024, 21% of orders opted for eco-packaging.
THE GIVE BACK & GROW INITIATIVE
We now offer the Give Back and Grow Packaging Initiative. Bring back your used packaging, and we’ll plant a tree on your behalf. Since its launch in May 2025, we have planted 116 trees as part of this initiative.
Ethical Supply Chain
All our jewellery is made using recycled metals which we purchase from trusted suppliers, certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council
Our coloured gemstone suppliers are members of the International Coloured Gemstone Association, with our primary supplier being an Accredited Ethical Member.
All our diamond suppliers work within the parameters of the Kimberly Process and World Diamond Council System of Warranties, and we have transitioned to using exclusively GIA or IGI certified natural and lab grown diamonds in our bespoke commissions to verify their provenance.
OUR MATERIALS
RECYCLED SILVER
Elegant and versatile, sterling silver offers timeless beauty with a bright, polished finish. Perfect for those who want style and quality without compromise – an excellent choice for everyday elegance. 99.7% of our jewellery uses recycled sterling silver, which contributes 66.6% fewer greenhouse gases than mined silver.
PRECIOUS STONES
From diamonds to sapphires, tourmalines to citrines, our jewellery features a curated selection of responsibly sourced gemstones from trusted suppliers who are proud members of the International Coloured Gemstone Association. We have also forged an ongoing partnership with Zimbaqua, the first all women mine in Africa.
RECYCLED GOLD
Radiating warmth and charm, yellow gold strikes the perfect balance between beauty and strength. Its lighter composition makes it wonderfully durable for daily wear while retaining the classic golden glow we all love. 99.7% of our jewellery uses recycled gold, which contributes 99.8% fewer greenhouse gases than mined gold.
LAB GROWN DIAMONDS
Created using cutting-edge technology, lab-grown diamonds offer the same stunning sparkle, chemical composition and durability as natural diamonds. Ethically sourced and environmentally conscious, these certified diamonds are a modern, responsible choice without compromising on beauty or brilliance. A perfect blend of innovation and elegance.
ZIMBAQUA
We are incredibly proud to partner with ZImbaqua, the world's first sustainable, all women mine in Africa. A selection of our beautiful One of a Kind pieces are made using traceable, sustainably mined aquamarines from Zimbaqua - an organisation dedicated to empowering communities and redefining ethical mining through transparency, sustainability and environmentally-conscious practices.
CERTIFIED DIAMONDS
Formed deep within the Earth over billions of years, natural diamonds are rare treasures that symbolise enduring love and timeless beauty. Each one is unique, with its own natural character and brilliance. Certified for quality and authenticity, natural diamonds carry both emotional and intrinsic value – making them perfect for heirloom pieces and life’s most meaningful moments.

Positive Luxury
The Butterfly Mark is a globally recognised symbol of trust, earned by luxury brands striving for positive change.
We were incredibly proud to achieve accreditation with Positive Luxury in October 2020 and be awarded the prestigious Butterfly Mark, having undertaken a comprehensive ESG+ assessment to demonstrate our commitment to building a sustainable future through our business practices.
The Butterfly Mark symbolises that we are part of a global movement working to transform the luxury landscape. We are committed to achieving higher and higher standards for our people and planet, now and in the future.
GREEN ENERGY
All our stores are powered by green energy suppliers and our HQ has solar panels to supply power to our workshop and offices.
TREE PLANTING & CARBON OFFSETTING
To date, we have offset over 1,000 tonnes of carbon which is equivalent to saving approximately 3,000 metres squared of sea ice from melting. Through our partnership with Ecologi, we have planted in excess of 23,500 trees and have supported over 16 climate projects around the world.
ECO DELIVERY PARTNERS
We carefully chose our delivery partners because of their green credentials. All Daniella Draper deliveries undertaken by DPD in the UK are 100% carbon compensated and DHL were the first logistics company to commit to a zero emissions target.
"As Daniella Draper’s Account Manager at Positive Luxury, I have seen the brand’s genuine commitment to sustainability and ethical craftsmanship shine through. From creating jewellery with recycled gold and silver and responsibly sourced diamonds, to maintaining rigorous supplier accountability and certifications, the company demonstrates integrity at every step. Their efforts go beyond materials, with carbon footprint assessments, renewable energy adoption, and partnerships that support community and environmental projects. This holistic approach, combined with a passion for transparency and circularity, makes Daniella Draper a true changemaker in luxury and a well-deserving recipient of the Butterfly Mark.”
