Zhanyl Sharshembieva, Master Jeweler of Kyrgyzstan

Zhanyl Sharshembieva, of the famed Kyrgyz artisan group Seven Sisters, is a Master Jeweler who works primarily with silver and semi-precious stones. She learned her jewelry skills from her father, one of the most famous saddle and silversmith artists of the Soviet Union.
