[Cambarololololol]

Hey guys I’ve never posted on this site so bare with me but I’ve been fascinated with Somali jewellery and how people have just randomly stopped wearing it, I want to work bringing it back but I don’t know where to start I need tips anyone I’m young and I barely have any money at the moment but I can’t find much info on the internet. I want to use authentic gold and silver too not fake materials, I’ve seen a dhaxal make some but it’s not as authentic and extravagant as I want it to be. I need tips on like where to go do I send my designs to manufacturers, where could I find them etc etc
