Choose a zen and fair piece of jewelry and support Nepal

Nepal is confined since the end of March 2019, and stay in confinement! The economy of the land of smiles and trekking is essentially based on tourism and its expatriate workers. 70% of its population is at the edge of the poverty line. Thousands of sherpas, artisans, small traders and expatriate workers are unemployed and will remain so for a long time to come. Very often a person supports an entire family as well as 3 to 10 close relatives. Local populations find it difficult to cope with the absence of tourism and the fact that the borders remain closed. This wonderful and touching country needs you.

Very closely related to Buddhism, Nepali jewels are often assimilated to Tibetan jewels. It is true that many Tibetans in exile, have established themselves in the land of smiles. And Tibet rhymes with Buddhism! Malas and Zen bracelets, also known as lucky bracelets or Tibetan bracelets, are very common. Most Nepali people wear a mala necklace or a mala bracelet.

Nepalese jewelry in silver, brass and semi-precious stones are mainly made by the Newar, an ethnic group living in Kathmandu and its surroundings. The Newar have been recognized artisans for centuries and their history is closely linked to Tibet. They have been the artisans of jewelry for Tibetan monasteries for many generations.
