The simple elegant shapes of the Needa collection make it easy to wear and layer. This single drop necklace made of silver gold vermeil is inspired by old hand hammered gold beads – every mark on the metal is a mark left full of the story of the person who worked the piece, their emotional life, their focus and concentration is felt in every piece.

Every piece is hand made in Kabul by the men and women artisans of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation. Training and employing young people in meaningful creative jobs is vitally important now in Afghanistan when the young desperately need hope and a sense of purpose in a beautiful country tragically caught up in violence and conflict.
