Lapis square studs, handmade 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. Lapis Lazuli was once the most sought-after stone in the world. Found in Afghanistan, the rock of truth is said to encourage the honesty of the spirit and grant the wearer an improved sense of judgment.
