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 Newari craftsmen from the Valley Kathmandu. 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.

A unique, limited-edition necklace with Himalayan crystal

A slender, rigid gold-plated brass hoop sits close to the neck, showcasing a magnificent pendant with a natural Himalayan crystal. Anna Orska personally selected the stones during a trip to Nepal. Each one differs in shape, proportions, and natural pattern, so it received a custom-fit setting. The rough, sharp-faceted piece is set in a gold-plated element adorned with a repoussé floral ornament.
No two necklaces are identical. The crystals in individual pieces may differ from the stone shown in the photo in shape, size, clarity, and arrangement of inclusions. Each necklace is finished with a UNIQUE pendant and a pendant with the ORSKA logo.

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, allowing it to pass 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.
