Local jeweller diversifying into marketing moulds

Rajkumar Seeram is hedging his bets in jewellery-making, an industry which these days, given the recent drop in gold prices has a fair measure of uncertainty.

A jeweller by profession, he readily admits that the competition has caused him to look beyond jewellery-making for a living.

His current pursuit of marketing jewellery moulds, a trade he discovered in Suriname several years ago, brings him a fair living.

Jewellery casting is an age-old process of making jewellery pieces by pouring liquid metal alloy into moulds.
