Recognised Statement Popons®
Recognised
Recognised creates beautiful jewellery that supports powerful causes.
Introducing Recognised Statement Popons® - pendants which help to raise awareness, spark conversations and bring solidarity around the causes and experiences many of us face today. To date our iconic Statement Popons have raised over £80,000 for 5 important causes.
How the Recognised Concept works:
Step 1: Pick a jewellery base (customers can choose from a bangle or necklace)
Step 2: Pick your Popon® (Each Popon supports an important cause and 100% of profits are donated to our charity partners
Step 3: Recognise a cause or individual close to your heart.
Every Statement Popon® worn acts as a powerful symbol of hope for yourself and others, creating transformational impact as people connect around shared experiences and feel recognised.
We all have something we’re walking through, whether it’s struggling with our mental health, supporting a friend through cancer or living without a loved one. In all things, it’s important to feel seen and to know we’re not alone. Our Statement Popons® bring moments of hope and recognition at times in people’s lives they need it most.
Since launching Recognised in October 2018, over 10,000 Statement Popon® gifts have been purchased for friends and family to express love and compassion to one another.
From gifts of our Motherhood Popon to friends who’ve experienced miscarriages or shows of support with our Dove Popon for those struggling with their mental health. It’s truly been a beautiful thing to see these moments of connection and recognition take place and the highest honour to have created a product which facilitates this through the highs and lows of life.
Here is what our customers have to say:
“ I was not disappointed, in fact I was amazed at the quality, attention to detail and care that went into the packaging, alongside the great customer service. This is by far one of the most beautiful & kind gifts I have purchased. I chose to support mental health and cancer charities. Perfect for a gift, for a special birthday, thank you gift, self care gift for any age. Love, Love, Love”.
“I am so delighted with every single piece I ordered from Recognised! I absolutely love this brand and everything they stand for and represent. To create such beautiful jewellery that shares a strong message of hope and resilience and community, what’s not to love?! I have recommended your jewellery to everyone I know. And will no doubt be buying more for friends and family members. Keep doing what you do. It makes a significant impact on many people”.
“Jewellery should have as much meaning as possible. Recognised’s dedication to causes makes it an easy first choice when looking for meaningful jewellery to gift".
“This is where Recognised is a beautifully simple concept, where just by wearing a Popon you can speak so much comfort, hope and affirmation into other people’s lives” .
To date, Statement Popons® have made a difference to thousands of people (see video) alongside raising £80,000 for five important causes. Our causes include Mental Health, Cancer Support, Motherhood, Racial Equality, Ukraine Crisis and the fight against anti-slavery.
Our Statement Popons® are designed in the UK and each carry symbolic meanings and messages. Below is more information around the symbols we have chosen for each design and the charities they support:
Dove Popon® - Mental Health
We’ve been supporting mental health awareness from day one and it’s a cause that’s important to us all, with 1 in 4 of us in the UK affected. Following the pandemic, our Dove Popon is more important than ever, with so many of us having experienced poor mental wellbeing for the first time.
The Dove Popon® was created as a show of support for every single person struggling with their mental wellbeing. This Popon not only helps raise awareness of mental health, it has played a significant role in sparking important conversations around mental health, helping break down stigma and shame and communicating to anyone feeling isolated that they are not alone, there is hope and the sun will shine brighter on another day. From stories of family members who have lost loved ones to suicide and purchased this Popon in memory of them, to friends sending each other the Dove as a show of support throughout the pandemic, this Popon carries hope, healing and a message of love.

Pearl Popon® - Modern Slavery
The reality that slavery still exists in the 21st century is heartbreaking. Each Pearl Popon® symbolises the precious value of human life hidden away in darkness and brought into the light. There are three colour pearls (White, Pink and Grey) and they are named after the different ways our charity partners help fight slavery, by providing freedom for victims, bringing perpetrators to justice and giving survivors hope. Three things we believe everyone is worthy and deserving of.

Alphabet Popons® - Cancer Support
Cancer impacts nearly all of us in one way or another – it’s a cause close to so many of our hearts. We created Recognised letters to recognise each and every person affected by cancer. Every initial worn represents a personal story. Time and time again our Alphabet Popons are purchased in memory of a loved one, as a meaningful gift for someone going through cancer or to keep those we know in mind throughout their illness. Every Recognised Letter holds so much meaning and helps keep those we love close to our hearts throughout the hardest of times.
100% of net profits donated to Look Good Feel Better and Maggie’s
Heart Popon® - Motherhood
You cannot paint one defining picture of what it looks like to be a mum or write one conclusive definition as to what it means. Children or no children, motherhood takes many forms and different expressions. All are a creative process to form many amazing, unique and different works of art... or as we’d put it works of heart. The Motherhood Popon recognises each and every mother and the many different journeys, challenges and contexts we all face.
100% of net profits donated to Little Village and Pregnancy Twinning.
Pebble Popons - Solidarity
Recognised Pebble Popons® support the ongoing and ever-evolving need for solidarity in our world today and carry a simple message: we are better together. Inspired by the pebbles on a beach that are shaped by each other as well as their environment, the Pebble Popons® celebrate that we are both unique and connected to one another. Whether it’s coming together for our planet, equality or justice, we are united through shared experiences. When we stand together in solidarity for one another, we find strength to face today and hope for tomorrow. There is strength in numbers and comfort in unity. In troubled times, we recognise that we are strongest when we stand together in solidarity.
100% of net profits donated to Blueprint for All and The British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal
Every Statement Popon® comes in a pouch inside a beautiful reusable jewellery box. Inside the pouch is a special card which highlights which cause has been purchased and where the money has been donated.
