(**) Regarding the Tibetan artisanal pearl: it comes from the association "Solidarity Nepal" which supports Tibetan refugees. This association supports a community that is established in Pokhara, it is made up of 830 people who fled their country after the invasion of China. These people live exclusively from the sale of their crafts to tourists. Following the last earthquake they no longer have resources, which is why this association was born. Its profits are entirely donated to this community, so that they can buy food and rebuild their homes.
