But who is the brain behind all these beauty bazaars? MARAC JEWELLERY was established by Mrs Marian Aggrey in June 2006, and currently registered at the Registrar General’s Department of Ghana as a sole proprietorship.
MARAC started from Marian’s room on the campus of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) when she was doing her National Service.
Along with its development, MARAC JEWELLERY provides products and services such as gold jewellery, silver jewellery, bead products, training and consultation for the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis (STMA) and the Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality (EKMA) and beyond.
“We are also planning on adding a fruit bar to our services. Our consumers come from various circles such as office workers, teachers, bankers, teenagers and students, etc.”, Marian tells Beachfmonline.
Mrs Marian Aggrey is the only female goldsmith in the whole western part of Ghana. She suffered gender challenges from society and not her male counterparts in the field as some of her customers assumed that because she is a female, she gives the work to a male goldsmith to do it for her but the interesting part is she does most of the work herself, from melting to the finished work.
In the beginning, getting customers was her biggest challenge. So she started selling mobile scratch cards so that when people come to buy them they will know what exactly she was all about in the shop. This worked brilliantly for her because her customer base started growing.
She tells Beachfmonline that getting raw materials for production wasn’t a problem until recently when the galamsey menace escalated. “It is now very difficult to get raw materials, and even if we get some they are expensive”, she lamented.
Mrs Aggrey is a product of KNUST with Second Class Honors (upper division). She read BA Industrial Arts at the Metal Products Section in the Department of Industrial Arts, College of Art, now Faculty of Arts under College of Art and Builds Environments.
She had her National Service as a Teaching Assistant (TA) in the Metal Products Section, Department of Industrial Arts in September 2004 to September 2005 where the MARAC JEWELLERY dream was conceived.
