Nepal Handmade Silver Jewellery Workshop

The Nepal Handmade Silver Jewellery Workshop was formed in 2002 by Damodar K C who had more than 15 years work experience in the jewellery making business. Prior to the involvement of Mysmallshop Ltd in 2007 the small jewellery workshop was not able to comply to international fair trade standards because the workers were earning very low wages and working very long hours due to the low level of demand for their product in the competitive Nepalese market.
