NGJA commences islandwide jewellery survey

The National Gem and Jewellery Authority (NGJA) has commenced an island wide survey on jewellery designers, jewellery shops and pawn brokers for initiating strategies to boost Sri Lanka’s jewellery industry. Accordingly, steps will be taken to gradually raise the standard of Sri Lankan jewellery products to international levels by improving the talents of all jewellery designers in the island.

To achieve this, the latest technology on jewellery designing will be introduced and plans will be worked out to deal with problems the industry is currently facing and to raise living standards of jewellery designers and technicians.

The Authority has already appointed a committee of officials to conduct the survey which will cover all districts including Jaffna, according to NGJA Chairman and CEO Anil Koswatte.
