Description
These necklaces were made by our beneficiary in Kabul, Zarmina.
She used for each necklace a wooden chain and chose a piece that mixes a metal alloy worn by nomadic women of southern Afghanistan for the pendant.
These are unique pieces.
Zarmina thanks you in advance for your support by buying her creations.
These are not simple handicrafts...
But jewellery made by women who are not designers but beneficiaries of our association. To make them, they bargain-hunt pearls, semi-precious stones, old coins and pieces of traditional kilim fabric in the market, which they assemble, often in the style of jewellery from different Afghan ethnic groups. It was their idea to make this jewellery for us to bring back to Switzerland after our trip to Kabul in early 2021. We brought back these unique and very special pieces made by ex-detainees or their daughters, whose names we note on the pouch we use to wrap them when you purchase one.
By buying one of these pieces, you contribute directly to helping these women to get out of great misery, material and psychological precariousness. In exchange, you will have a magnificent and unique piece of handicraft !
Hope for Afghan Women thanks you for your generosity and support.
