There are many great bead projects around Kathmandu, and this time I visited Emmanuel Beads who work with women to make beaded necklaces and bracelets etc. They provide training and also a meeting place for the women to make the pieces at their premises in South Kathmandu. Originally the project was set up between two English women living in the city and now the ownership has been passed on to Reshma and her mum who coordinate all the women, and they are supported by a network of English ex pats and visitors to buy their products and keep them running.
On my visit, I chose some simple beaded strand necklaces in various colours, that look fantastic when worn - with matching bracelets. Please see listing on our online boutique for RESHMA necklace and bracelet set:
