Empowering Women.
We are dedicated to driving positive change for disadvantaged women within our communities and have donated over $550,000 to this cause since 2021 and empowered over 7,000 women.
In 2025 we will be continuing existing partnerships with Women’s Refuge in New Zealand and The Period Purse in Canada, plus a new partnership with The Salvation Army in Australia, to support women in need.
We are also working with the Collective Good Foundation to empower women in the arid rural village of Danta, North Gujarat, India. Women and girls in this area face challenges including limited avenues for skilled work and work outside the home; lack of financial support for higher education; and a greater burden of domestic and care work. Our partnership has four key focus areas to improve women’s lives in Danta: including providing access to agriculture schemes and water security, food security through home gardening, menstrual education and support, and hygienic toilet refurbishments. We have chosen to support women and girls in Danta in the state of Gujarat - a key diamond region intrinsically linked to the jewellery industry and our business. Rosy Blue Foundation, the registered charity organisation of our key jewellery product supplier in India, will help to coordinate this work on the ground.
Aiming to empower 100,000 women by 2030.

Women's Refuge
Women's Refuge is New Zealand's largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing family violence. They provide crucial services including a 24-hour crisis line, information and safe housing, as well as education programmes and advocacy aimed at positively changing policies and attitudes. Their vision is for all women and children in Aotearoa to live free from domestic and family violence.
The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is one of the largest non-government providers of support programs and community services helping vulnerable people, and has been supporting Australians for over 140 years. We’ve selected The Salvation Army for their provision of critical services to Australian women experiencing homelessness or domestic violence. Donations will be made to local handpicked programs in each state and territory, empowering women that need it most across Australia.
The Period Purse
The Period Purse is a registered charity in Canada striving to create menstrual equity by ensuring sustainable access to period products for all and by ending the stigma associated with periods through education and advocacy. Their three pillars of focus include outreach, education, and advocacy. Since their inception, they have donated more than 5 million period products and educated over 6,000 people.
