AAMO, which has been delivering beautiful, architectural jewellery showing the work of local artisans of Nepal to their customers since 2015, was started by Aayusha Shrestha, founder and designer of the venture, with the thought of helping local artisans and metal crafters.

“I wanted to reflect the beauty of our culture and nature through my work. AAMO is very personal for me as it not only reflects my love for jewellery but it also tells the story of the person I have actually become from the lessons I have learnt over the years,” she reflects.

Shrestha says, “The name has two meanings. In Sanskrit ‘Amo’ means ‘mother’ and the word holds a deeper meaning in my life as I used to call my grandmother ‘Ama’. On the other hand, in Spanish it means love. And my jewelry line is something I really love.”
