Nepal Jewelry Omyoki
Jewelry from Nepal Omyoki are handmade. They are made in the heart of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, land of sacred mountains, Buddhism and Hinduism. Our Nepalese jewelry is made of semi-precious stones, seeds and wood.
Very closely related to Buddhism, jewels from Nepal are often assimilated to Tibetan jewelry. 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: these Nepalese jewelry 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.
