Shambhala believes laying solid economic foundations will aid in the
sustainability of Tibetan culture against the onslaught of external
influences. This led to the establishment of the Tibetan Turquoise
Revival, as the revival and sustainability of Tibetan artisan jewellery
is part of their ethnic identity. Stringing turquoise and designing
traditional and new age Tibetan jewellery is one way of restoring local
identity among indigenous people, while building confidence through
the provision of skills with an economic foundation to ensure ongoing
craft and community traditions within the Barkhor heritage district
of Lhasa.
These turquoise and coral creations may be worn as fashion-forward
accessories supporting traditional Tibetan values of nobility and prayerfulness.
100% of turquoise jewellery sales will go to support the Tibetan
Turquoise Revival initiative. Learn more about the Tibetan
Turquoise Revival initiative.
