The Himalayan region is home to some of the world's great weavers.
From the distinctive wool blankets of Nepal's Dolpo region, to the
fine patterns found in the belts of Sherpa women, to the world
renowned supplementary weft patterns of Bhutan's adept weavers -
the looms of the Himalaya produce an array of interesting
textiles.
Throughout the region, where you find fine clothing, you will
doubtless find stunning jewelry to compliment it. In this area
where religion is such an important factor in the life of
the people we find that often jewelry is not only a beauty accent,
but an expression of faith as well. The metal smith, and jeweler
use their skills to pay homage to the spiritual forces which guide
the people of the Himalaya. |
