Charity Jewelry

Throughout Kalevala Jewelry's existence, tangible good has also been done with our jewelry. In recent decades, we have supported many socially important projects with special charity jewelry. Organizations and projects that support women and children have been selected as our aid targets.

Since 2015, Kalevala Jewelry has participated in the Cancer Foundation's Pink Ribbon collection with Pink Ribbon jewelry. On the brink of a major life change, the support of loved ones and the community is invaluable. The Cancer Foundation is Finland's most significant private funder of cancer research, and the Pink Ribbon is its best-known fundraiser. Over the course of eight years, we have already collected €314,000 for cancer research with our customers. Every year we release a new pink ribbon jewelry, which is produced in a limited edition.

Our 2023 Pink ribbon jewelry was the Sailor's Knot from the Amuletti series designed by Lina Simons , whose ribbon braid was believed to bring good luck in ancient times. For each pendant and earring from the Pink Ribbon 2023 series 10 € and 5 € from the charm will be donated to the Pink Ribbon collection.

The plight of the Ukrainians has awakened an unprecedented desire to help around the world. We wanted to help by doing what we do best – making and selling jewelry. In March 2022, we produced 500 pairs of plywood Moon Goddess earrings glowing in the colors of Ukraine, and we donated the entire sales revenue of €25,000 through Unicef ​​to help children and families in Ukraine.

Each employee of Kalevala Jewelry used one working day to implement the aid project. The plywood parts of the jewelry were worked on and donated by Laser Cut Studio Oy. The plywood is domestic birch plywood, and it was manufactured by Koskisen Oy. The story cards supplied with the jewelry were donated by Pekan Offset Oy.

Thank you to all our customers who bought earrings and our partners who made it possible to do something good. Through Unicef, Kalevala Jewelry donated €10,000 in addition to €25,000 of the sales revenue from the jewelry to help Ukraine, making the total amount donated €35,000.
