Protsaah - Project Re/Bijou

KNOW ABOUT OUR

CONCEPT

“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”

- Martin Luther King Jr.

Our name says it all: "Protsaah" is derived Currently, people in Burkina Faso, India, from Sanskrit "protsahan," which means "to Kashmir, Rwanda, Syrian Refugee Projects encourage." and Tibet create the high-quality crafted pieces in our various collections.

Each piece of jewellery, each item tells an encouraging story of all who have Valuing the artisanal process more highly contributed to it. Artisans are given the than industrial mass production - This is opportunity to cultivate traditional art what we mean by sustainable luxury. This is skills under fair conditions. In the midst of how we help drive the "Slow Fashion" war, flight and violence, they can create movement from our headquarters in Zurich. beauty and participate as whole persons.

MEET THE FOUNDERS " THIS IS WHERE WE BEGAN..... "

'2015 - 2018 It was a brave idea, to try to give the women of Tibet an opportunity to change their lives and the lives within their community. The energy of the project was so electric that we grew from a team of 7 artisans to 44 in a matter of months.

2019 - 2021 The world changed and with it changed the project as we knew it; we lost 11 dear members of the artisan community to Covid-19 and as we battled to keep in touch and support with supplies.

The local government ordered a forced migration of two entire villages to industrial zones, where all able folk was recruited to work in factories and reside in labour camps, we were torn away from 20 sisters.

2021 With a heavy heart and a small team, we embarked a sustainable journey in a new direction - 'Re/Bijou'

Responsibly Produced

- Plated with 22k responsibly sourced ethical gold - We adorn our jewellery with hand-cut semi-precious stones bought only from ethical, registered sources.

China invaded Tibet in 1950.

After more than 70 years of occupation, Tibetans still resist China's rule and defy its oppression. Tibetans are regularly snatched from the street or their homes and then locked away in secret after sham trials, or just forced to migrate to the industrial worker camps around Lhasa.

We started our Lhasa project with just 7 women in 2016. We grew our team to 44 women over the next 3 years.

Unfortunately, due to Covid 19 and forced migration of two entire villages, we now have a small group of 13 women working in our project.

As of 2021, only our best-selling Shimmering Disks Collection is handcrafted by 13 Tibetan women artisans in their home workshops in the Lhasa Valley Tibet's heartland.
