The Jewelry-Making Village - Bangladesh

July 3, 2025, Savar, Bangladesh: In Bhakurta Union of Savar, on the outskirts of the capital, jewelry is made in almost every household. Around 10,000 people in the area are involved in the craft. According to locals, the tradition dates back to the British era, when residents adopted jewelry-making as an alternative profession. Initially, they used to craft gold ornaments. Gradually, they shifted to making silver jewelry. Nowadays, most of the ornaments are made from copper and brass. Since the 1980s, the production and sale of jewelry have expanded widely.
