Nepalese-Tibetan Fine Jewelry
Traditionally rare in the Himalayas, Tibet and Nepal, only wealthy and powerful could buy fine Jewelry. In fact, the jewelry showed both the owner’s personal wealth, social and political status. Besides, the lavishly adorned deities often reflected the unique and sacred culture in jewellery pieces. These pieces showed the ideals of the faith, ancient values of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Noteworthy, we have received much of the information on this jewellery from Western travelers, Tibetans, archaeological and literary evidence.
The beautiful jewelry of Nepal, Tibet, and the Himalayas is extraordinarily evocative, with vibrant combinations of gold and silver embellished with turquoise, coral, amber, and pearls.
