A shop in Dharamsala

I recently got back from travelling in India and while I was there, I visited a shop in Dharamsala. I got a card from the owner but stupidly passed it on to someone I later met. The shop was called Jewels of Tibet and a Tibetan lady called Lhamo ran it I think. Does anyone have any details please? The jewellery I got was amazing and I'd love to make contact with her again.

It was in McLeod Ganj. It was on the left as you walked from the square towards the Chocolate Log. About 500 yards down from the square if I remember rightly. Ring any bells?

McLo is cluttered with shops and street vendors selling trinkets and they are all jewels of Tibet, if not Kashmir!

Try googling for +"jewels of tibet" +"mcleodganj," I think this is it: http://www.geocities.com/tenzinwa/contact.html. Backtrack also to their /tenzinwa homepage to get an extra frame to scroll around.

Good find, mach. There's even of photo of the shop here:

http://www.geocities.com/tenzinwa/jewelsofftibet.html

And the Jogibara Road location sounds right, based on the description "as you walked from the square towards the Chocolate Log"

Here's their map:
