Omyoki Humanitarian Commitments

Omyoki sponsors humanitarian action in India and Nepal

Omyoki supports local people in India and Nepal and supports the NGO Karuna Shechen, founded in 2000 by Matthieu Ricard.

A donation of 1000 € per year + 3% of each jewel you buy

Because we need to be meaningfull, because we care about those developing countries, we commit ourselves by donating 1000 € per year to humanitarian projects in the Himalayan regions, through the NGO Karuna Sheshen. In addition to this, 3% of each jewel that YOU purchase is donated to this organization and you contribute directly to support local people. This is the case, even during private sales and promotions. We haven't increased our prices because of this coomitment and do not intend to. We are aiming at fair prices for a fair trade and to support ethical fashion.

Our jewelery is mostly made in India and Nepal, this is why we chose an NGO focused on these two countries, and with very low operating costs (8%). Karuna Shechen focuses on the following main actions:

Empowering women
Job creation, training, advice and support.
communities
For empowerment and empowerment of communities.
Educations
Construction or consolidation of schools, children's education plan ...
Health
Through medical centers, mobile clinics and medical camps.

Omyoki Ethnic Jewelry

Creative trip in progress!

The creation of new ethnic jewelry and bohochic jewelry has been underway since February! Indeed, I (Stéphanie, the founder of Omyoki) am once again traveling to India and Nepal to work with local artisans on new models.

The semi-precious stones have been chosen one by one, with some novelties, including the star ruby, the bumblebee jasper, the ocean jasper, the tourmaline, the azurite, the rutile quartz ... The natural stones lighthouses remain the moon stone, labradorite, And the turquoise. It was a great pleasure to choose the stones, their shapes, their colors, their purity… Each selection of semi-precious stones is an opportunity for incredible unpacking, to make the eyes shine. We spend hours and days discussing stones, setting and models! There is a strong desire to choose everything and to have incredible quantities of jewelry manufactured, but you have to know how to stay in a reasoned production!

In Asia, artisans are used to working quietly, producing a few pieces for each model. All the jewelry is handmade, from A to Z. It is easy to create unique pieces but always very complicated to produce the same jewelry in quantity. Omyoki strives to stick as much as possible to local habits and customs. We respect and tend to promote traditional Indian and Nepalese know-how. An avalanche of new ethnic and modern jewelry awaits you in the coming months! Because to be in tune with this Indian and Nepalese rhythm, the jewelry is created in unique pieces or in mini collections. In this way, each craftsman brings maximum attention to the creation of each piece of jewelry. It is the respect for unique work, hand-made work, work at an Asian pace, far from chain creations! The result is a job done with love and care, where every craftsman has the pleasure of the job done.

Ethical fashion, craft ring creation

In the continuity of this link between our Western world and developing countries with ancestral know-how, our jewelry designs are a fusion of styles at the crossroads between East and West. Omyoki still relies on traditional Asian designs, bringing a modern and Western touch.

This spring the focus has been on the diversification of semi-precious stones, adjustable rings and gilded jewelry. Ethnic jewelery and chic, understated silver jewelery remain at the heart of the Omyoki collections, with a little more golden gilded jewelry.

The new ethnic and bohochic jewelry is being created for the coming months. It will take a little more than a month for the first jewelry to arrive! To be continued…
