The Sima ring is handmade in Afghanistan by the artisans of the Turquoise Mountain Foundation. Turquoise Mountain has worked in Kabul for over 12 years 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 with an improved sense of judgement.
