Jewelry

Ganesh Himal Trading works closely with some of the
finest jewelers in Nepal to create an exceptional line of
jewelry. All our jewelry is handcrafted using sterling
silver, and includes earrings, rings, pendants,
bracelets, necklaces and pins. We take great pride in
our fantastic selection of both modern and traditional
styles and our exquisite selection of stones, which
include amethyst, rainbow moonstone, lapis, peridot,
turquoise and much more. Our customers appreciate
our attention to detail when selecting the perfect
combination of styles, prices and stones for their
store.

Jewelry making is a family tradition in Nepal and is
passed down from father to son. One family we have
been associated with for over two decades works
communally, pooling their resources, and training
the younger family members to carry on the
tradition. The eldest brother of this business has
repeatedly commented on how their relationship
with fair trade businesses, like Ganesh Himal over the
years has helped them to be successful. Young adults,
who were leaving this traditional work, are returning
because the average wage for skilled jewelers is now
better than that of many other jobs, affording them a
secure and comfortable future.

Other jewelry artists are non-traditional jewelers who
have apprenticed and become master jewelers. Now
they reach out and teach others from poor villages so
they too can earn an income vital to their families.

Yet another jewelry workshop we work with employs
both high and low caste jewelers-enticing them to put
aside their cultural differences in exchange for good
wages and working conditions.
