Khor Mandal (Mong. Хор Мандал) is located in the Olympic Galleria Mall (2nd floor) on Olympic Street next to the Shangrila Mall in downtown Ulaanbaatar. My dear friend Dugarjav Munkhtsetseg, otherwise know as Mono, opened her speciality shop in this location four years ago, although her business was first established 8 years ago, in 2017. She is the owner. As long as I’ve know her, now going back twenty years and more, she has been preoccupied with designing and making her own jewellery, not just for customers but also for family and friends too.
