Lotus pendant with garnet
The silver jewelry is made by silversmiths in Maharashtra. These craftsmen come from the Muslim craft community, who have cultivated ornamental designs with precious stones for generations. The Taj Mahal is a world-famous expression of this ornamental art. Stones, precious stones, wood and silver were forged into a jewel there.
GangaPrem jewelry is made in family businesses of silversmiths, gem cutters and stone dealers. In the 1980s, the Osho community in Pune revitalized this craft group with modern ideas and thus opened up an international market that still feeds many families today and offers them fair working conditions.
