Repusé ornaments, labradorite and Himalayan crystal in the Nepal jewelry collection

The collection is a story about Anna Orska's return to the place where she found her own way of designing, based not on the search for inspiration, but on gaining knowledge, authentic encounters and cooperation with masters of traditional crafts. Ten years later, the designer once again joined Ramesh, who, along with other local masters of repoussé, gave flat sheet metal three-dimensional forms, slowly emerging to the rhythm of thousands of hammer blows. Each piece retains the imprint of the hand that created it, so no two pieces are identical, and slight differences serve as a certificate of authenticity. The hand-decorated metal, crafted in our jewelry studio, was complemented by labradorite, a perspective-altering stone that, when touched, sheds its dark colors and reveals green-gold reflections. The collection is complemented by unique necklaces with Himalayan rock crystal, set in custom-made settings. Jewelry from the Nepal collection combines the designer's imagination with the expertise of artisans, tradition with modernity, and the monumentality of mountains with the precision of hand-crafted detail.

Large gold-plated ring from the Nepal collection

The ring is crafted from gold-plated brass. A wide, geometric band features an elongated oval element, whose central cutout lends lightness to the composition. The entire surface of the ring is covered with convex plant ornaments: spiral vines, leaves, and floral plumes. The motifs symbolize development, rebirth, and the bond between humanity and nature. The edges of the decorative form are finished with a rhythmic band of small ridges, emphasizing its contours and sculptural character. Each refraction of the relief reflects light differently, bringing out the richness of detail in the metal.

How are the repoussé ornaments created in jewelry from the Nepal collection?

Before a craftsman from the Kathmandu Valley is able to carve an intricate ornament on his own, he spends years in the workshop honing his skills. Repoussé is considered one of the most difficult metalworking techniques, requiring significant precision and patience. The pattern is created gradually, through hundreds, sometimes thousands, of blows of hammers and chisels of various sizes, driven into the brass from the inside, long before the decorated piece reaches our ORSKA workshop and becomes a necklace, bracelet, ring, or brooch. The jewelry from the Nepal collection is a record of the work and years of experience of artisans from a region where this craft is still very much alive.
