Handmade jewelry in India
Shankar's workshop
is located in the fabulous little town of Pushkar, in the heart of Rajasthan. Shankar is a young Hindu, passionate about his work, a committed family man, very pious and very active in the community. Shankar collaborates daily with other artisans because his workshop is very small and does not have all the necessary tools. This is why creating jewelry takes a little longer than with other craftsmen. But the result is well worth the time! We have been working with Shankar since the beginning of 2019. To conclude, the ethnic silver jewelry that we create with Shankar are often unique, magnificent pieces!
Govin's workshop
is nestled in the heart of Rajasthan. This region of northeast India has been renowned since the dawn of time for its jewelry expertise. Indeed, Rajasthan is a very colorful region with immense cultural wealth. This is why this region is one of the most touristy in India. I met Govin in 2017, through several trading friends in Europe. Everyone advised me to go see Govin and what a meeting! Govin, Muku, Eddy, and a few artisans work with fervor on silver, setting, brushing, polishing.
Indeed, the workshop is a real Ali Baba's cave, full of a thousand semi-precious stones. In other words, no machine, apart from something to polish! All ethnic silver jewelry is handmade, from A to Z. Forget about machines, even the simplest ones. This is why it is all the more incredible to see the birth of these ethnic silver jewelry with perfect finishes.

Handmade jewelry in Thailand
Lek's workshop is located in the north of Thailand, near Burma. The Karen, tribes of the northern mountains, are very skilled with their hands. The Karen work with fabric and silver. Unlike many countries they use purer silver, composed of 95 to 98% silver, instead of 92,5% which is a standard. This is why ethnic Thai silver jewelry is often thicker.
