Silver Jewellery Day 2013

Organized by: Lalitpur Handicraft Association (LHA), Nepal

Supported by: Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

Event managed by: Tyro Media

Silver Jewellery is one of the major handicrafts of Nepal that is being exported to Europe as well as other export markets. The Silver Jewellery sector has been well recognized by the Nepal Trade Integration Strategy (NTIS) 2010, which is an effort of the Government of Nepal in charting a possible course for the development of the Country’s export sector over the next three to five years. The demand of Silver Jewellery is increasing along with the new market that includes European Union, Russia, South Korea and South Africa and Japan. In addition, this sector contributes 13 percent to the total handicraft export from Nepal. The manufacturing and making of Silver Jewellery products has been based on the conventional method with the use of hand tools for production. This has resulted in slow production and high cost per unit. As the export market for Silver Jewellery is being more competitive, there is a strong need for Marketing and Export promotion of Silver Jewellery of Nepal. 

LHA is organizing the “Silver Jewellery day” in Hotel Yak & Yeti, Durbar Marg, Kathmandu on 12^th December 2013 with the support from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the Trade Promotion Programme (TPP) to aid to highlight and develop the sector. This Programme works with relevant Public and Private sector actors to support the Silver Jewellery Sector in developing its trade related competencies. This event is thus organized in a partnership of GIZ and Lalitpur Handicraft Association.

Nepalese jewellery

Nepalese jewellery

In many parts of Asia, folk jewelry, the most beautiful and dazzling expression of material culture, has disappeared in the wake of modernization. In Nepal, however, where the formidable Himalayas have formed a barrier to outsiders and their influences for centuries, native jewelry traditions have remained alive and strong until very recently. Jewelry in Nepal is worn for decorative, talismanic, and investment purposes. Lavish pieces may be donned to celebrate marriage or promote fertility, while amulets are worn to ward off baleful influences. Gold jewelry is abundant and its many forms are expressed in unusual sizes; silver, readily available in coin form, is freely used, as are beads of glass, coral, turquoise, amber, and agate. The pieces are dramatic in design and brilliant in workmanship. In sixteen trips to Nepal's most inaccessible areas, goldsmith and jewelry designer Hannelore Gabriel has documented the local jewelry worn for both daily and ceremonial use, and her photographs and articles have appeared in numerous art and jewelry related publications. Introductory chapters of her new book discuss the land and religion, and the function and history of jewelry in Nepal. Further chapters discuss symbolism and materials, while the central and largest portion of the book introduces, item by item, the important jewelry pieces of the major ethnic groups: the Newar, the Tibeto-Burman Middle Hills groups, the Tibeto-Nepalese, the Indo-Nepalese, and the Tharu. Concluding chapters present the special, ritual jewelry of the shamans and the jewelry makers of Nepal, while appendixes include important tips on collecting and preserving both new and antique pieces, as well as an extensive bibliography. This heavily illustrated work is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject available.
