Jewelry with Edelweiss

Nadalsuren P.

The 48-year-old Nadalsuren is a mother of three. Her children are not entirely to blame for the fact that the trained doctor now makes jewelry with edelweiss...

Nadalsuren worked for several years as a doctor in state kindergartens. During this time, she also worked as a freelance artist. She started making jewelry with edelweiss flowers at home during her pregnancy. Her friends liked her craft and she saw an opportunity to earn money with it. In 2021, Nadalsuren decided to start her own business. Edelweiss grows in many places in Mongolia and is often featured in fairy tales and songs. It symbolizes love, trust and courage.

Project description

Nadalsuren makes the unique jewelry by hand. She dries the fresh edelweiss flowers and combines them with silver, copper or wood. The edelweiss flowers all come from Mongolia. Her customers are mainly younger Mongolians who give love and trust with the edelweiss or wear the exclusive products themselves. Tourists also appreciate her jewelry as a beautiful souvenir of Mongolia. Nadalsuren's customers like the varied selection and the attractive price.

Nadalsuren would like to expand her range in the future, for example with earrings, bracelets or necklaces in an elegant set. Nadalsuren understands her craft very well and would now like to develop into a professional businesswoman. She works hard, is willing to learn new things and has lots of ideas for new products.
