(WNAM Monitoring): The jewelry business of Uzbekistan has existed since ancient times. In particular, in Namangan, families passed on this art from generation to generation. However, due to the lack of necessary conditions and difficulties in purchasing raw materials, many jewelers stopped their activities, those who remained made products by hand.
The Presidential Decree of May 18, 2019 “On measures to accelerate the development of the jewelry industry in the Republic of Uzbekistan” has opened up vast opportunities for representatives of the sphere. In particular, jewelry manufacturers were given the right to purchase scrap precious metals and precious stones, as well as products made from them, from mining, metallurgical plants, and the population. Support was provided to attract technologies and specialists from abroad.
Such attention and opportunities gave confidence to jewelers. In particular, Gavkhar Group LLC was established. Modern equipment was brought from Türkiye, Italy, the United States, and Germany, and in 2022 the company began its activities.
Today, the company has mastered the production of 10,000 varieties of jewelry. In cooperation with foreign partners, the production of high-quality gold watch cases has been established. In 2023, 270 kilograms of products were manufactured.
