What is Kalash?

'Kalash' comes from one of the many places visited by owner, Ben Thompson, on his adventures. It has been a part of Ben since the early 90's after discovering a love of exploring the world. Whilst travelling, Ben found the most incredible artefacts, gemstones and artisans that his hometown of Hervey Bay had never seen before.

Meet Ben

Owner / Adventurer / Stepdad
Ben is a lover of adventure, the great outdoors, boating and most of all his friends and family. While downtime may be few and far between, Ben always tries to make time for a yearly motorbike adventure. Since the beginning Ben has worked closely with artisans in India to produce beautifully unique jewellery pieces.
