Story, Sustainability & Impact
This piece was designed in Canada and handmade by master artisans in Murad Khani, Kabul, Afghanistan. Afghan jewelers have worked in isolation, cut off internationally for decades due to ongoing conflict. This collection is made in collaboration with Turquoise Mountain — founded by King Charles to focus on the regeneration of the Afghan crafts industry. Our locally sourced gemstones are artisanally mined and support local families and the rebuilding of old Kabul.
