Rupiya Ring
The Rupiya Ring by Kaligarh is made with a traditional handmade silver coin in sterling silver.
Coins have been used for jewellery in cultures all over the world, but in Nepal, this type of jewellery is associated with the flat, southern plains, or the hilly western region. Since the 19th century, the Indian Rupee would be the popular choice, sometimes money from Persia would also be used to make necklaces and rings.
