Carry My Heart Pendant

A garnet stone rests at the center of the Carry My Heart Pendant (pictured above), a sterling silver necklace entirely handmade using basic tools. For Nepalese artisans, traditional jewelry-making skills become an opportunity for employment that includes medical benefits and children’s scholarships. “There are hearts behind this jewelry," says Kancha Shakya, a Nepalese metalsmith, with immense pride.

Ten Thousand Villages helps to preserve crafting traditions passed down through generations, connecting customers with other cultures and their artistic heritage and creating beauty in the world.
