Jummaneh Silver has opened a new shop at Senegambia Beach Hotel, bringing its collection of silver jewellery right into the heart of one of The Gambia’s main tourism areas.

For those who follow My Gambia, the name Jummaneh Silver is not new. This Gambian-owned and staffed business has been selling silver jewellery in The Gambia for years, while also promoting the work of Gambian and other West African silversmiths.

WHAT CAN YOU FIND THERE?
The collection is diverse, with rings, bangles, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other silver jewellery available at reasonable prices.

What we particularly like is the mix. You can find handmade pieces created by Gambian silversmiths alongside jewellery from Senegal, Ghana, Mali and other parts of the world. Jummaneh Silver also offers bespoke designs for those looking for something more personal, as well as engraving, jewellery repairs and silver cleaning.

For visitors, it is an easy shopping stop while exploring Senegambia and an alternative to the more typical souvenirs found in the tourism area.

But there is another side of Jummaneh Silver that we think travellers should know about.

DON’T JUST BUY IT. TRY MAKING IT.

If you prefer bringing home experiences rather than simply buying souvenirs, ask about their silver-making workshops.

Jummaneh Silver can connect visitors with Gambian silversmiths and offer the opportunity to learn more about how silver jewellery is traditionally made. Visitors can even get involved in the process and create their own silver ring or bangle.

This is the kind of activity we always encourage travellers to look for in The Gambia.

Instead of simply purchasing something and taking it home, you get an opportunity to meet the people behind the craft, see how they work, learn about their skills and participate in creating your own piece.

The result is probably one of the more personal souvenirs you can take home from The Gambia: a piece of jewellery you helped to make yourself.

ADD IT TO YOUR SENEGAMBIA WALK
If you are staying in Senegambia, Kololi or the surrounding tourism area, the new location makes Jummaneh Silver particularly easy to visit.

Stop by while exploring Senegambia, browse the jewellery, ask about locally made pieces and, if you have some extra time during your holiday, find out about joining a workshop.

Because sometimes the best things to take home from The Gambia are not simply things you buy.
They are the things with a story behind them.
