Since 1983, Himalayan Gems has worked with groups of independent, hereditary master silversmiths, gemstone cutters, and beaders who use traditional techniques perfected over the centuries. These techniques were passed on to them by their ancestors, who, under royal patronage, created fabulous pieces of jewellers' art.
Our silver jewellery is produced in the fabled city of Jaipur, Rajasthan– one of the ancient cities that has been at the centre of jewellery, making for hundreds of years. Many rulers of these ancient kingdoms were legendary jewellery collectors and built up large communities of gemstone and fine Jewellery production. Today, the connections established with these incredible craftspeople over the past three decades allow Himalayan Gems to offer high-quality sterling silver jewellery and gemstones at excellent value. Our jewellery incorporates handcrafting of the highest caliber, modern design that incorporates elements from all ages and gemstones that we source from all over the world.
It is your patronage that helps promote the preservation of ancient jewellery making skills that risk being overwhelmed in today's fast-changing world. Making jewellery by hand is not only an excellent way for these highly skilled craftsmen and women to support their families, but it allows them to prosper. Their skills perpetuate a proud heritage that dates back hundreds of years.
Based in Toronto, Canada, we continue to work with our longtime suppliers, traveling all over the world and making television appearances in the USA (HSN), Canada (The Shopping Channel), Australia (TVSN), UK (QVC) and Italy (QVC)., while also supplying jewellery to QVC for their "Artisan Crafted" shows.
