“Considering what is happening in the economy in the area of foreign exchange, importing things has become so expensive.
`So, what we have done at Makems Jewellery is to ensure that we source for local jewellery materials. And, we have a lot of them that are locally made on display at this exhibition.
“Makems Jewellery has a passion for making jewellery and we now make do with what we can do in Nigeria.
“We have been able to come up with beautiful jewellery pieces that people loved at this exhibition,” Adejare said.
On affordability, she said because the products are domiciled in Naira, “you find out that it is easier for people to buy”.
According to her, Makems was targeting to export jewellery products in future.
“This will help Nigeria’s Naira-to-dollar exchange to appreciate through local production of fashion products and exports.”
