we are sooo proud, happy and humble that A/BARENESS

Just received this pic from the
 metal workshop in Nepal.

So looking forward to get
new & old designs
 back in stock;

Our casted "Mountain top" Devak Ring 
and
the Yangi Horn'n brass Pendant 
are new additions to 
our Slow Fashion Jewellery
Collection
&
finally more of our
KARMA/ KARISMA
Pendant (:

// Will update you as soon as it is
available in our webshop // 

// SOOONISH BACK IN STOCK //

Finally found a new supplier of the 
semi precious stones we use
for our designs. 

YAY!
 Thank you Stone Heritage in
Jaipur, India for starting collaborating
with us!

The stones used on this 
lot is from a local supplier
in Nepal, but 
future productions 
will hopefully be more smooth as
we now can order
directly from Jaipur too (: 


Just received the top pic of
our Jagat Pendant from
the metal workshop in Nepal.
This beautiful
"Moonstone in a Cage"
will hopefully
reach Norway end September.
Will let you know.
