Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) October 14, 2006 -- Crafted by hand from sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones, COSELI jewelry is not only intricately fashioned and beautifully unique. It is the inspiration of a 2,500 year-old Himalayan jewelry-making heritage fused with current fashion trends from around the world. And it is the product of world-traveler, entrepreneur, mother, and Philadelphia resident Deepa Mischler.

Partnering with Nepalese artisans, COSELI, which means “a treasured gift,” aims to create a sustainable means of preserving the ancient Himalayan jewelry-making craft. In order to maintain local artisan skills affected by the lack of tourism due to civil unrest, Mischler founded COSELI to bring foreign investment to Nepal, while others were pulling out of the country. In doing so, she strives to make social enterprise a source of cultural and financial sustenance.

COSELI jewelry ranges from contemporary designs to earthy, exotic creations evoking the culture and art of Nepal and Tibet. From Parisian ironworks inspired romantic pierce-work filigree to sleek, sculptured design influenced by avant garde London, each piece is handmade.

Fall and winter 2006 trends are effortlessly represented in the COSELI collections through the use of stately pendants, delicate link chains, finely-carved, lacy filigree patterns, and cabochon stones. The meaningful, expressive, and eclectic COSELI collections include five distinct lines: Parisian Ironworks, Kathmandu, Geisha Design, London Edge, and Barcelona.

Retail prices range from $50 to $350 and are available for purchase online. The company also produces the “COSELI CARES” lines, a unique take on the pink ribbon symbol which donates a portion of each sale to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
