Since 1983 Himalayan Gems has worked with groups of independent, hereditary master silversmiths, gemstone cutters and beaders who use traditional techniques perfected over the centuries. The ancestors of these craftspeople worked for centuries under royal patronage creating fabulous examples of the jewellers' art.
Our silver jewellery is produced in the fabled city of Jaipur, Rajasthan - ancient cities that have been centers of jewellery making for hundred’s of years. The rulers of these ancient kingdoms were legendary jewellery collectors and built up extensive communities of gemstone production and fine jewellery making. Today we work with the descendants of these incredible craftspeople who have the ability to turn pure sterling silver and gemstones into magnificent pieces of jewellery while at the same time delivering excellent value.
The connections established over the past four decades allow Himalayan Gems to offer high quality jewellery and gemstones at excellent value. Our jewellery incorporates handcrafting of the highest caliber, modern design that incorporates design elements from all ages and fine gemstones that we source from all over the world.
It is your patronage that helps promote the preservation of ancient jewellery making skills that risk being overwhelmed in today’s fast changing world. Making jewellery by hand is not only an excellent way for these highly skilled craftspeople (both men and women) to support their families and prosper, but also perpetuates a proud heritage that often goes back 100’s of years in their families.
