Silver Filigree with Garnets
$95.00
Gorgeous Filigree Style earrings in ancient Newari Craftsman Style dating back to the Kingdom of Lalitpur [Patan] Nepal.
They first cut the shape in Sterling Silver, then soldered onto it small designs fashioned out of twisted and bent wire [filigree] and
finished by setting lots of Garnet Stones into the pattern.
We fell in love with this unique style when we first came to Boudhanath / Kathmandu where i discovered it in one of the shops close to the Huge Tibetan Buddhist Stupa, famous pilgrimage site visited by Tibetan Buddhists from all over the world.
We found out that it is a "dying skill" since it is so work-involved that the artisans skilled in it just don't make a good enough hour wage in Nepal and give up their traditional livelihood to became workers in the jewelry industry in Malaysia instead.
This special treasure, now "collector's items," could be yours .....
