Traceability

Product design (Amsterdam)
- Paper manufacturer
- Canson is a French company that produces luxury paper. Canson focuses on minimizing water use, works with certified materials and reduces waste.
- since 2019
- Metal and paper workshop
- We have been collaborating with Artisans Workshop in Kathmandu for many years. Here, metalwork (brass and silver) and paperwork are crafted, and gemstones are set. This workshop employs locally trained artisans who master both traditional and modern Nepalese handcrafting techniques.
- since 2010
- Technology
  - Handmade sandcasting technique charms
  - Many of our pendants are crafted using a traditional Nepalese sand-casting technique. We create a mold from sand, clay and water. Once the mold is perfect, we pour molten brass or silver into it. After the metal cools, we finish the pendant and add it to one of our jewelry pieces.
- Artisans
  - Kedar (age 46 year)
  - Kedar makes samples and coordinates the process of developing new items. "I always try to be independent. And thanks to my job, I am financially independent."
  - Sudarsan (age 33 year)
  - Sudarsan is a sand casting master. " My job allows me to take care of my parents. I bought a piece of land outside the valley to build a house."
- Glass beads manufacturer
- Starman is a wholesale distributor of Czech glass beads and Japanese Toho beads from North America. The glass beads are produced in the Czech Republic.
- since 2015
- Beading workshop
- Since 2008, we have been working with Beads for Life in Kathmandu. This workshop trains women in jewelry making and financial independence. The workshop feels like one big family with a social mentality.
- since 2008
- Technology
  - Bead crocheting
  - Crocheting with beads is very similar to crocheting with wire. You can make jewelry and even bags with it. Crocheting with beads requires intensive training. It quickly becomes apparent who is a beginner and who is not. If you crochet tightly, the bracelet will maintain its shape well when worn.
  - Beading in a pattern
  - This technique requires concentration and precision. There are various bead stringing techniques; which one we use depends on the pattern. For less distinct patterns, beads are threaded onto the needle by passing the needle through a tray of beads. For more specific patterns, each bead is counted and placed on the needle in the correct order: this requires the patience of a saint.
  - Beading on elastics
  - For this technique, our makers need to be highly focused. That’s because elastic is thicker and rougher than wire, making the threading process more time-consuming. Each bead is manually positioned correctly. Once all beads are on, we tie the elastic and finish the knot with a bead.
  - Beading on metal wire
  - We sometimes use metal wire to make a piece of jewelry more solid. With metal wire, we can also create a firmer shape than with elastic.
  - Handmade knotting technique
  - Our knotted bracelets are made of hundreds of knots of thread. By using different knots and knotting techniques, we create various patterns and textures.
  - Handmade loom weaving with beads
  - This handcrafting technique resembles weaving fabric but with beads instead. We use a mini loom. Our patterns are meticulously planned by arranging beads of the same size in a specific sequence.
  - Slide knot closing
  - We use a special knotting technique to create a sliding knot on bracelets from thread. Precision in work is essential for the knot to slide smoothly.
- Artisans
  - Bimala (age 38 year)
  - Bimala is a team leader and in charge of quality control. "This job has helped me to develop myself. My income has increased, allowing me to support my family and my village."
  - Bishnu (age 42 year)
  - Bishnu is responsible for finishing the beaded jewelry. "This is my first job. It requires me to stay calm and focused, and it gives me a lot of pleasure. I also enjoy working solely with women."
  - Durga (age 31 year)
  - Durga is responsible for finishing the beaded jewelry. "I love learning new things every day. I feel valued at my job."
  - Renuka (age 31 year)
  - Renuka is a warehouse manager and a product development coordinator. “This job allows me to buy the medicine I need. Also, it has helped me grow immensely on a personal level.”
  - Sita (age 37 year)
  - Sita is responsible for finishing the beaded jewelry. "This job has given me independence. I spend my own money, I can travel and take care of myself."
