Ethical Approach
​
Julia takes great care to build strong relationships with suppliers who share her philosophies on environmental protection, fair labor, social responsibility and making positive contributions to the communities where our stones come from. Because fine jewelry is especially valuable and the materials are not disposable, we work to recycle and upcycle as much as possible in order to lower our impact on the environment. Furthermore, we extend our insight from suppliers to our clients to provide as much transparency as possible on every piece we create.
Julia Kowpak's packaging is environmentally sustainable and made from FSC®-certified cardboard and paper.
Julia never stops searching, in an industry that is constantly evolving, for the best and most responsible partnerships to create jewellery with highest ethical standards.
