Market Challenges<br />

Jewellery is a precious entity. Jewellers from different areas must take special care while purchasing pure raw metal and maintaining the purity of the jewellery<br />

piece is also essential.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are certain challenges faced by the artisans, some artisans with immense talent are not able to spread their designs as they are not highly educated, and<br />

their designs are also copied by other people without their knowledge.<br />
