Turquoise Mountain was established in 2006 by HRH The Prince of Wales to revive historic areas, traditional crafts and communities, in order to provide jobs, education and a renewed sense of pride.

Since 2006, they have restored 150 historic buildings in Yangon and Kabul, trained over 6,000 artisans, treated over 136,000 patients at their clinic, and curated major international exhibitions at museums around the world, from the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. 

Turquoise Mountain have also worked with five-star hotels and prestigious retailers, including the Four Seasons and Rosewood hotels, Pippa Small, Kate Spade, Bloomingdales, Holt Renfrew, Asprey, Fortnum & Mason, and The Conran Shop. 

They now support craftswomen and men in Afghanistan, Myanmar, and the Middle East.

Turquoise Mountain is working with talented goldsmiths in Yangon to create heritage-inspired and custom pieces using these semi-precious stones for today’s international designers and buyers. Their meticulous goldsmiths are all natives of Ramree Island in Southern Rakhine, which has a goldsmithing tradition going back to the sixth century. Using gold, gemstones, and pearls from the Bay of Bengal, they create small and timeless works of art.
