At Rachel Boston, we are continually considering the environmental and social impact of our jewellery, making thoughtful choices across our materials, production and sourcing.
We work with recycled precious metals and Single Mine Origin gold, offer Fairtrade Gold where possible, and create our jewellery on a made-to-order basis to minimise unnecessary waste.
Every Rachel Boston piece is crafted in the United Kingdom by our in-house workshop and trusted specialist makers in Hatton Garden.
All of our diamonds are responsibly sourced and conflict-free. We also welcome the use of heirloom and recycled diamonds, alongside carefully sourced antique diamonds, allowing existing stones to be given a new life.
We are incredibly proud to be a Certified B Corporation™. As an independent fine jewellery brand, we believe luxury should be created with care - for the people who make it, the materials we work with and the pieces that are ultimately designed to last for generations.
From using recycled precious metals and responsibly sourced gemstones to producing locally within the UK and creating jewellery intended for longevity rather than disposability, these values have always been central to the way we work. Becoming B Corp certified formalises and holds us accountable to those commitments as we continue to grow the brand thoughtfully and responsibly.
Gold and platinum are naturally renewable materials that can be recycled repeatedly without compromising their quality. We primarily work with Recycled precious metals, refining existing jewellery and scrap metal to minimise the demand for newly mined materials and reduce environmental impact. We also recycle all suitable scrap metal from our workshop wherever possible.
We offer Single Mine Origin (SMO) gold across selected collections, providing full traceability back to a single responsible source. SMO mines are independently vetted against strict standards covering environmental practices, community investment and workplace support for women.
For bespoke commissions, we can also offer Fairtrade Gold where possible. Fairtrade Gold supports responsible mining practices and helps improve working conditions and opportunities for mining communities. We do not profit from the use of Fairtrade Gold, and the additional cost is passed directly towards supporting Fairtrade certified mines.
We work with trusted suppliers and some of the world’s leading diamond specialists to source both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds of exceptional quality. Our natural diamonds are sourced in accordance with the Kimberley Process, ensuring they are conflict-free, and all of our diamonds are certified by respected independent laboratories including GIA, IGI and IGR Global.
Laboratory grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to natural diamonds and are assessed using the same 4Cs of carat, colour, clarity and cut. We carefully source both natural and lab grown diamonds to suit a range of preferences, budgets and specifications, allowing each client to create a piece that feels entirely personal.
Rachel Boston jewellery is designed and made in London, with a commitment to supporting British craftsmanship and our local jewellery community. Alongside our in-house workshop, we collaborate with a trusted network of small, specialist workshops in Hatton Garden, London’s historic jewellery district.
By keeping our production local, we are proud to create jewellery entirely within the United Kingdom using carefully considered, responsibly sourced materials.
For every engagement ring we create, we partner with The Future Forest Company to plant a tree in your name. Each native broadleaf sapling contributes to the restoration of UK forests, helping to create habitats for wildlife and support biodiversity.
Your engagement ring will be accompanied by a certificate and photograph of your newly planted tree - a lasting reminder of the positive impact of your choice. Alongside planting new forests, The Future Forest Company also works to protect ancient woodland for generations to come.
Whether you’re collecting you piece from our showroom or having it shipped to your door, we can guarantee that you'll receive it in a neat, consciously considered package.
Our mailers are biodegradable and our shipping boxes are made from FSC-certified card. They’re 100% recyclable, as are our collection bags and envelopes.
When your jewellery is shipped, it's held securely in place by custom-fitted box inserts, so even the most delicate of pieces will arrive safely. Our jewellery boxes – from rings to necklaces – are fashioned from vegan leather, and are made to keep your piece protected forever.
