As a jewellery brand, we are deeply connected to the natural world. The metals and gemstones we use in our designs come from the earth, and we recognize the responsibility that comes with that. That’s why we’re proud to share that we’ve officially become members of 1% for the Planet—a global network of businesses committed to giving back to environmental causes.
1% for the Planet is an international organization that connects businesses with environmental nonprofits, ensuring that companies commit at least 1% of their annual revenue to meaningful environmental initiatives. Founded in 2002 by Patagonia’s Yvon Chouinard and Craig Mathews of Blue Ribbon Flies, the movement has helped direct hundreds of millions of dollars toward protecting the planet.
For us, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. The jewellery industry relies on natural resources, and while we strive to use ethical sourcing practices, we also recognize that giving back is essential.
That’s why we carefully choose our suppliers, like Misfit Diamonds, a Canadian-based diamond supplier leading the way in sustainability and transparent sourcing. Their commitment to traceable and responsibly mined gemstones aligns with our values, ensuring that every piece we create starts with ethical origins.
By joining 1% for the Planet, we take this commitment even further, directing a portion of our revenue to organizations dedicated to conservation, climate action, and ecological restoration. Together, with partners like Misfits, we are working to create meaningful, heirloom-quality jewellery that respects both people and the planet.
When you choose our handmade engagement and wedding jewellery, you’re not just investing in a beautiful piece—you’re contributing to positive environmental impact. Through our 1% for the Planet commitment, we’re helping support organizations that protect ecosystems, promote sustainable mining practices, and fight climate change. Every Yuliya Chorna Jewellery purchase you make helps us contribute to a healthier planet.
This is just one step in our broader commitment to sustainability. From the ethical sourcing of natural and lab-created gemstones to responsible local production in Toronto, we continuously seek ways to reduce our footprint while creating meaningful, heirloom-quality bridal jewellery. Joining 1% for the Planet is a way for us to hold ourselves accountable and ensure that our success benefits more than just our business—it supports the world we all share.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we can make a difference, one piece of jewelry at a time.
