Jewellery & Accessories

Berber Silver

Handcrafted silver jewellery from the Tuareg Berber tribes of North Africa. Dramatic in its geometry, each piece is replete with motifs of tribal mystic and protective symbolism. It is said, Berber women adorn themselves with so much jewelry, they carry the family’s fortune on them.

Bukhara Silver

Silver gilt jewellery, hand forged and hand engraved by a generational Uzbek kumush-usto (silver master craftsman). Using fine filigree, turquoise and coral stone insets, and ancient gilding techniques, each piece is a fine latticework of embroidered silver.

Karen Silver

Handcrafted tribal jewellery from the Karen hill tribes of Northern Thailand. Made from 99.9% silver (that’s even purer than sterling silver which is 92.5%), Karen products have a distinctive weight, satin finish and feel.
