Aiming to foster a jewellery industry that is competitive on a global scale, the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade’s Jewellery Technology Centre (JTC) supports upcoming designers and young artists who want to build their brand and obtain the know-how to compete in the international market.
The centre, located in Abdeen in the heart of Cairo, started in 2006 as an affiliate of the Ministry of Industry and Foreign Trade as a way for the government to help jewellery factories raise the standard of labour and help upcoming designers with small and medium projects. The centre offers a variety of courses ranging from jewellery design to wax carving to diamond grading.
[…] JTC’s upcoming project, in collaboration with the Agha Khan foundation, will be to teach people in Aswan to use dates and other things in their environment to make accessories.
