The word of the creative,

Every year I go there once or twice and spend time in the workshops of Shankar, Sonni, Govin, Mahesh, Lek and others. Together we create beautiful jewelry. I rely on the specific skills and style of each craftsman to compose jewelry combining their know-how and my imagination. Together, we choose the stones one by one, and each creation comes from a treasure trove of fine stones. It is a close and very personal relationship that I have with each artisan. And it's not uncommon for me to buy more than necessary, just to please them! Omyoki is committed to an ethical approach and I ensure that the craftsmen with whom I collaborate are properly remunerated, that the working environment is healthy, and that they are not helped by children.

Where our handcrafted jewelry comes from

India - Shankar's workshop

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, invested family man, very stake and very active in the community. Shankar collaborates daily with other craftsmen because his workshop being very small, it does not have all the necessary tools. The jewelry creation is a little longer than with other craftsmen but the result is well worth it, to take the time! We have been working with Shankar since early 2019.

India - Govin's workshop

Govin's workshop is nestled in the heart of Rajasthan. This region of northeastern India has been renowned for its know-how in the field of jewelry since the dawn of time. Rajasthan is a very colorful region with immense cultural wealth. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most touristic destinations 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 craftsmen work fervently with silver, setting, brushing, polishing. The workshop is a real Ali Baba's cave, overflowing with a thousand semi-precious stones. No machine, apart from something to polish! All artisanal silver jewelry is handmade, from A to Z. Machines, even the simplest, are forgotten. It is all the more incredible to see a jewel being born.

Nepal - Mahesh's workshop

Mahesh lives in the suburbs of Kathmandu, in the family home, with his parents, his wife and his 2 children. He has been making malas and beaded bracelets for 14 years! 14 years of stringing pearls, with patience, gentleness and tranquility. Mahesh is very religious, when he puts on beads he seems to be in active meditation. This person emanates an absolute calm, a peaceful strength. Well known in his neighborhood, it is not uncommon to see one or two friends from the surrounding area come to chat and drink tea. Mahesh was introduced to me a few years ago by a Polish woman who has been a volunteer teacher in a Nepalese village for over 7 years. A wonderful encounter.

Thailand - Fon & Lek workshop

Lek's workshop is located in northern Thailand, near the Burmese border. The Karen, tribes of the northern mountains are very skilled with their hands. The Karens work with cloth and silver. Unlike many countries they use purer silver, which is 95 to 98% silver, instead of 92,5% which is a standard. I first met Fon and Lek in Bangkok, because they go down there to shop. Believe it or not, communication was very complicated at first, because Thai people are not that English speaking! By dint of gestures and time we have come to understand each other. I've been to northern Thailand a few times and the creativity, colors and ingenuity there is amazing.
