Sharing is the story of an initiatory journey, mine.

Driven by an intuition, I took off for a month-long trip to India which would last well beyond. The wondrous encounters of the solitary traveler guide my steps across the continent to the banks of the Ganges. I meet Jiwan at a yoga festival and fall in love with a necklace that will never take off. Thanks to her, I discovered the delicate art of micro-macramé and this marvelous work of stones nestled in a delicate lace of knotted threads.

Based in Darhamsala with her Tibetan friends, they make pretty jewelry in a small workshop. These three Tibetan nuns took refuge in India after serving long prison sentences for demonstrating and siding with the Dalai Lama. Having fallen in love with this piece of jewelry and wanting to support these women, I ordered a few necklaces from them.

If Sharing has become the project of my new life, it is thanks to all those who have inspired, encouraged, supported and accompanied me throughout these years.

A few years later, while traveling in the south of India, I met Amir, a young man who was very shy at first. Little by little, I discovered him to be charming, persevering and full of good will and I wanted to give him a chance. Originally from Kashmir, his father passed on to him the gift and techniques of these delicate weavings.

Since then, Amir, like Gulam, have been at the head of small independent family businesses which make our jewelry with great care. In recent years, new craftsmen have joined us. Our Tibetan friends have been naturalized in Belgium and still work with us in addition to their other activities. For 15 years Sharing has proven to be a fabulous human adventure and we are happy to continue it with all our wonderful craftsmen.
