``From my own experience, I know so much can be done simply with the will of one person.
Now imagine how it will be when the will is multiplied in numbers.`` -KOHN
Hello, I am KOHN. I am honored to have this privilege to use some of the finest materials in the world to make beautiful jewelry for you.
Our world is different now. We now know very well in order to improve our own quality of life, we must put back into the world positively and consistently. Our world is connected now, and we have the ability to effect to almost any corner of the world as we wish.
To wear something as beautiful and rare as diamonds and gold but at the same time, knowing that someone else is suffering without assistance creates unnecessary anxiety within ourselves. Let us eliminate that negative feeling. Let’s be as beautiful as we are, and do beautiful and wonderful things to improve the world in which we live.
When you purchase a piece of KOHN jewelry, you know for a fact at 100% of profit will go towards the Healthcare system of the country where the jewelry piece is sold. This is my pledge. A majority of the profit made from your purchase will be used to save lives.
This percentage is not final. Though it will not be reduced as I (we) are able, we will increase this percentage.
Moreover, a portion of the profit, will be donated to Educational and Trauma-relief charities which KOHN is associated with. The images you are seeing are taken from Mustang, Nepal, one of the poorest areas of that country. We are currently working to set up a Buddhist Elementary School in the area to help the local community to become self-sustaining.
