Silver Pendents from India & Nepal
handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces
Hand made silver jewelry is abundant in India, which has a rich history of jewelry making. Each piece is unique in so much as every stone is different. They are all open-back, to expose the wearer to the energetic properties - healing, or spiritual - of the stone. Available in a wide variety of sizes.
Bone Necklaces from Nepal
assorted unique pieces
.Hand crafted necklaces in a variety of styles incorporate bone beads (water buffalo), one of the most ancient materials used for human decoration. You can't buy these on eBay, because they think we might be selling ivory or endangered species' bones. We aren't!
Tribal Designs from Afghanistan
traditional village jewelry
In the tradition of wearing your wealth, Afghans often adorn themselves with coins and metal jewelry. Bling is more important here than intrinsic value, and glass and white metal are as flashy in the sunlight as jewels and silver.
Silver Charms and Pendants
Sterling silver, handcrafted in India and Nepal. Pieces feature Hindu and Buddhist themes appropriate for wear either as a small pendant, or as an addition to your charm bracelet.
Silver Earrings - many with natural stones
Hand made earrings, traditional designs, chandeliers, and assorted danglers, many from Rajasthan. Great prices!
Silver Pendants - Turquoise
Hand made silver jewelry is abundant in India, which has a rich history of jewelry making. Each piece is unique in so much as every stone is different. They are all open-back, to expose the wearer to the energetic properties - healing, or spiritual - of the stone. These were all sold to us as turquoise, but nowadays much of what passes for turquoise is really dyed howlite (sometimes called 'white turquoise'). We aren't experts, so we can't guarantee they are all real; in fact we're a little suspicious of the first piece. We bought them from a silversmith, and we're sure the silver is real. They aren't "gem quality" stones, so it doesn't effect their value much. They are beautiful, though, and we can guarantee that.
