Artisan Group: Ganesh Himal

In Nepal, jewelers have passed down their trade from father to son for many generations.  They use sterling silver and high quality gem stones to create stunning pieces of art to wear.

Family businesses are an integral part of Nepali society. Brothers work together in business and pass on the skills to their sons. The artisans benefit greatly from fair trade. The younger generations earn competitive wages and can continue to keep their cultural traditions alive.
