THE GEMSTONE PENDANT’S FOUND HERE ARE HAND CRAFTED BY 15-20 FAMILIES IN KATHMANDU AND IN THE SURROUNDING HILLS IN THEIR HOMES. THIS GIVES THESE VERY IMPOVERISHED PEOPLE THE MEANS TO GENERATE EXTRA INCOME FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE AVERAGE ANNUAL FAMILY INCOME IN NEPAL IS ONLY ABOUT $300.00 A YEAR.
THE WHOLESALER THAT I BUY THESE PENDANT’S FROM DONATES A PORTION OF EVERY SALE TO A GROUP OF FORMER PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS THAT GIVES SMALL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GRANTS TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS IN NEPAL.
BECAUSE OF THE HAND CRAFTED NATURE OF THESE ITEMS, THERE WILL USUALLY BE ONLY ONE OF EACH PENDANT FOR SALE - IF I CAN GET MORE THAN ONE OF A CERTAIN STYLE I WILL & DO BUT I CAN’T ALWAYS. THESE ARE GORGEOUS PENDANTS, BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED AND ARE MADE OF GENUINE GEMSTONES AND .925 STERLING SILVER.
BY BUYING ONE OF THESE PENDANTS YOU ARE HELPING SOME VERY SPECIAL BUT ALSO  VERY DESTITUTE PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER LIFE. WHEN YOU PURCHASE THIS JEWELRY THAT MEANS I CAN BUY MORE AND WE’LL BOTH BE HELPING THESE FAMILIES.
