We import handmade jewelry to support silversmith artisans residing in Nepal.

Laura Van Nieuwkerk - owner of Silvissions Jewelry

My husband, Ton, and I began importing handmade jewelry (jewellery) in the fall of 2022 after we were approached via a good friend of ours from The Netherlands who told us the story and history of Mr Dambar, a skilled silversmith from Nepal.

For years Mr Dambar, trained many men from his birthhome low-caste village to become silversmith artisans themselves to be able to support their families and rebuild their village after it was destroyed in the earthquake of 2015.

In the fall of 2023 we met the silversmiths in Kathmandu, Nepal and learned for ourselves the culture, the people, the country and the conditions there.

We started this website to share with you all we learned about the low-caste system, the people, the culture and the country of Nepal. It is truly a country like no other.

We continue to add more photos, videos and stories about Nepal to this website.
