'Fire keeper' of goldsmithing

TQO - In a small house on Luong Son Tuyet Street, Group 3, Tan Quang Ward (Tuyen Quang City), Nguyen Manh Dang is always attached to his profession with the desire to preserve the traditional jewelry profession.

Dang's gold and silver processing shop is located on Luong Son Tuyet Street, Group 3, Tan Quang Ward (Tuyen Quang City).

He was born into a family of traditional jewelers. His grandfather was a famous master in the jewelry world in the 70s in Hanoi.

Dang believes that if you want to become a good craftsman, you have to be persistent in learning. Especially, you have to train your hands to become talented and your eyes are sharp, then you can "breathe soul" into the products you make.

His works are not merely jewelry but "jewelry with soul". Every detail of each product is carefully sculpted and honed, to reveal its own beauty.

For simple products, it takes him 1 day, while complex models take 2-3 days to complete.

Dang said, the traditional jewelry making profession has experienced many ups and downs and is in danger of disappearing. However, handmade jewelry products are still irreplaceable. He always hopes that young people will have a deeper insight into the profession and preserve this traditional profession.
