Jewellery Arts Show on March 26
Ghanaians would on March, 26 experience an exhibition of creativity dubbed Jewellery Arts Show at the Underbridge located at East Legon in Accra.
The event would feature designers, models, exhibitors among other industry professionals.
Addressing patrons at the launch, which recently took place at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel, the Executive Producer of Jewellery Arts Show, Herman Ofori Macmillan said, “I wants to do something authentic and cause people to travel from far and near to watch an expression of arts in Ghana.”
According to him, the programme was aimed at promoting the jewellery industry to create more jobs to boost the sector.
He said that there were a lot of fashion shows which were not dedicated to jewellery, for him, this would change the narrative and create a path for the next generation.
“This is the platform for those who love arts and culture to take advantage of. The Jewellery Arts Show could bring a lot of revenue to the city and country at large with the right support,” he said.
President of Federation of Ghana Goldsmiths and Jewellers Association, Mr.Shallovern Srodah on his part said, “Ghana is well noted for jewellery and beads, Ghana stands 4th in gold production, but when we look at Export of Jewellery, Ghana is no where to be found.”
“South Africa came for some Ghanaians to teach them how to use gold for beads, yet Ghanaians who taught them how to add value to their gold are no where to be found at the same marketplace,” he said.
For this reason, Mr.Srodah said, there was the need for Ghanaians to add value to the country’s resources , adding that “it is wake up call for the country.”
“80 percent of jewellery in our shops are imported, the talk show is enough, Hong Kong does Jewellery exhibition four times in the year,” he said.
