Nepal jewelry collection - ornament struck millimeter by millimeter

The heart of the Nepal jewelry collection is repoussé, a traditional technique of decorating metal, perfected for centuries by the Newari Artisans from the Kathmandu Valley. Repoussé begins with a thin sheet of metal. The craftsman works from the underside, striking contoured points with a hammer. Each strike displaces the sheet by a fraction of a millimeter, gradually revealing a raised relief on the other side. The piece is then turned over and chiseled from the front: lines are deepened, contours are accentuated, and the finest details are meticulously refined. Creating a single ornament requires hundreds, sometimes thousands, of strikes and many hours of focused work. In the Nepal collection, hand-repoussed vines, lotus leaves, and petals cover earrings, necklaces, wide bracelets, rings, signet rings, and brooches. The reliefs are complemented by natural labradorite and raw Himalayan crystals. This centuries-old technique from the Kathmandu Valley is given a contemporary twist with ORSKA jewelry.

Limited-edition necklace with Himalayan crystal from the Nepal collection

This long necklace is made from a ball chain made of silver-plated and oxidized brass. Its central accent is a magnificent, transparent Himalayan crystal with a soaring shape. Each stone is one-of-a-kind, so its setting is individually crafted, matching the natural shape of the stone. The upper part of the setting is adorned with plant ornaments: small leaves and vines. An extension allows you to adjust the necklace's length, and the whole is finished with UNIQUE charms and the ORSKA logo.

The designer hand-selected the crystals for the necklaces from the Nepal collection. These are natural minerals of various sizes and shapes. The setting has been individually matched to each necklace, which means each necklace may vary slightly in size, inclusions within the stones, their shape, and the type of ornamentation on the repoussé setting. This makes each piece one of a kind.

Himalayan Crystal - a Symbol of Purity and Inner Peace

Himalayan crystal is mined high in the mountains of Nepal. Its characteristic feature is its transparency and the way it scatters light, passing it through its interior like mountain air. Delicate inclusions resembling clouds, similar to those that constantly hover over the Himalayan peaks, can be seen within many crystals. This stone has captured a fragment of the landscape of the region from which it originates. In Nepalese spiritual tradition, pure Himalayan crystal has adorned sacred objects and statues of deities for centuries - it is believed to strengthen spiritual energy and promote mental clarity, which is why it accompanies meditation and prayer practices.
