The Monisa cuff is 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. Agate has been used for centuries for its fascinating markings and colourways. No gemstone is more creatively striped by nature than Agate.
