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.

GHANAIAN gospel heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has released a spirit-filled song titled “Sunsum Ndwom.”
The song, which is already making waves shortly after its release, is delivered in three parts, each carrying a powerful message.
The first part reflects on the mystery of Prophet Elijah, where people wondered who he was after he prayed and called down fire from heaven.
The second part centres on salvation, urging believers not to celebrate only power and miracles, but to celebrate the fact that their names are written in the Book of Life, because that is what lasts forever.
The third part celebrates the beauty of God’s healing power, a song originally composed by her late mother.
The gospel star is urging Ghanaians to stream the song on all platforms and encounter its powerful lyrics.
She also stressed the need to preserve Ghana’s traditional gospel sound, expressing hope that the new generation will embrace their heritage.
Empress Gifty further expressed appreciation to all stakeholders in the industry who have supported her career over the years.

GHANAIAN media personality, Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, affectionately called Akumaa, has marked the 18th anniversary of her Mama Zimbi Foundation (MZF).
The event was held at the Broken Yoke Ministry International at Klagon in Accra.
Thousands of widows who benefited were taken through health education for good living, business enhancement, women empowerment and legal education, among others.
In addition, they were given water, cloth, rice, noodles, oil, Noko Fine Washing Powder and other toiletries.
Mrs Dongotey-Padi noted that there is land earmarked for vocational training and gari processing for those who are unemployed and would want to make ends meet.
Against that backdrop, she expressed appreciation to gospel musician Empress Gifty for supporting her with her Noko Fine Washing Powder and Verna Mineral Water.
According to her, it went a long way to put smiles on the faces of the widows.
Akumaa Mama Zimbi further said that if she looks back on how the journey started 18 years ago, she feels fulfilled in impacting thousands of lives.
According to her, this motivates her to do even more to put smiles on the faces of people.
The Mama Zimbi Foundation is an NGO committed to motivating, empowering and supporting widows and their children, as well as educating adolescents on their sexual and reproductive health.
