“I have been making jewellery for as long as I can remember; almost 13 years now. I have a passion for creating beautiful pieces and when I was younger, I used to make small pieces and send them with my grandmother, who attended markets and displayed them and sold the items,” she explained. “Since then, I have attended many markets and I enjoy the atmosphere.”
