Store We Adore: D&H Sustainable Jewelers

Shawn Higgins and Lindsay Daunell, co-owners of D&H Sustainable Jewelers, relax with a glass of wine at the Rose Cut Wine Bar, a fully licensed bar located at the back of their San Francisco boutique.

D&H Sustainable Jewelers opened in early 2011 on San Francisco’s Market Street. The eco-conscious philosophy that underpins the owners’ commitment to selling ethically sourced jewelry and gemstones extends to the art and wines on offer: “We try to work with local groups all the time,” says co-owner Lindsay Daunell. “Community is such a huge part of sustainability.”

The turtle pendant is by Hratch Nargizian, and the other pieces are by Rebecca Overmann; all are made in reclaimed 18k gold and oxidized sterling silver.

Vintage ruby and diamond earrings in 18k white gold from a private royal collection. “The main reason we like the vintage department is because of the scarcity of ethically sourced rubies on the market today,” says Shawn Higgins.
