GURHAN is proudly lending its support to save the Amazon Rainforests, one tourmaline at a time. Co-founder of the renowned brand, Fiona Tilley, is a passionate supporter of the environment and believes that it is vital for responsible brands and caring individuals to rise to the occasion when parts of our global community are hurting.Accordingly, GURHAN is donating 25% of its profits from sales of all its tourmaline jewelry between now and year-end to support the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem and its inhabitants that are impacted by the fires that continue to ravaged the region.
This applies to the sales online – via its own ecommerce site – as well as wholesale sales to its Retailers around the world. In addition to a % of profits, GURHAN is also offering Gift Cards for purchase, the proceeds of which will go to the same cause.
The GURHAN brand sources many of its stones from Brazil, in particular, tourmalines. And this season, one of its most popular collections features these beautiful stones. Making this collection even more special is that Gurhan’s tourmaline designs are one-of-a-kind creations and therefore each is as unique as the extraordinary tourmalines that are dug from the ground in Brazil.
The organization which GURHAN has chosen to receive its contributions is Earth Alliance because 100% of donations to this organization go directly to the Amazon causes it supports. *
