now
3.1.1. Jewelry village reduced but silver cooking and pouring them in
frame in Dinh Cong still continue to keep and develop
Now, in the process of urbanization happens rapidly so we can say
jewelry village in Dinh Cong reduced gradually. Dinh Cong can’t meet the
standard working as traditional handmade village. Although jewelry village

supported by artists and supports by local government to maintain and keep
traditional job of their parents.

they do not know about cooking silver, pouring silver in frame confused with
carved silver products. The products of carved silver are quite different that
cooking silver, pouring silver into frame
3.1.4. Some issues on the status of the current of vocational silver of Dinh
Cong
The problem of supply and demand: There is a current reality is that
while some traditional eroded because the products do not prefer the silver
bean opposite, with demand but not enough supply.
Product problem: If the former jewels The products mainly focused on
the production of worship, jewelry, ornaments, present, before the impact of
the market economy , the silver products more diverse, rich and largely meet
the needs of the market.
Production technology: Today, with the presence of more advanced
techniques have helped the workers, though, are still done manually but
relieved some stages. Most workers are not directly perform specialized
silver, silver recruitment.Current production tools have also changed to better
suit the production.
Sustainable development issues: In the context of trade villages have
been eroded but silver still exists, the implementation of sustainable
development path for the profession is an important issue being the master
production artists and the authorities are very interested. To sustainable
development jewels Brand to create their own specific nature. Thus, this is the
best way to be able to continue to maintain and develop sustainable jewels
Dinh Cong.

After making the SWOT analysis, we found that in order to have a
chance to survive and continue professional development, Dinh Cong silver
need to make the following suggestions:
- Occupation silver need to follow the path of sustainable development
by the production of products bearing characteristics, which means that
products are "exclusive" to avoid competition from other jewelery
handmade products.
- Need to register trademarks for products of silver Dinh Cong. This will
help customers understand and silver products known to Dinh Cong. At
the same time, the silver workers themselves well aware of the
20
significance of the preservation and development of traditional trade of
his father.
- Should be publicized in the mass media about listening to the silver in
order to attract customers and expand the market. Can consume
products then silver Dinh profession can recover and continue to grow,
expand production scale.
- To be able to maintain the profession silver The need is especially
focused on staff training nearby. Need to attract and motivate,
encourage young people to participate in vocational training of senior
artists have a lot of experience to pass on to the children.
- To prevent the gradual disappearance of lines Dinh Cong silver must
always innovative designs to fit and meet the needs of the market.

map beans reached a technique to market acceptance. In The technical
strength of beans that artisan jewelers elsewhere are not. With the decorative

current in the Northern Plains, the jeweler Dinh village has been eroded.
However, it remains traditional silver and are some of the artists with the
support of local governments in an effort to maintain and preserve the
traditional craft of his father leaving. The development of jewels The now
very slow. There are many factors leading to this change.
These side effects include the advantages and disadvantages to

dedicated to her craft and strive to maintain professional development. Strong
human resources are skilled artisans and good knowledge. Products to meet
the needs of customers and markets by creating many designs in many
different categories. In addition, the product achieved numerous awards in

the silver bean also many weaknesses: Lack of labor, especially skilled labor
is strong, young apprentices at. Not correspond to the economic value of
public health workers make products. Products by manual labor should
absolutely not high labor productivity. The number of families also maintain
training at. Demand but not enough supply. Not expand production scale.
Percentage of immigrants in Dinh Cong increasing. These problems will
hinder the development of the profession.
With these favorable factors and difficulties such as, Dinh Cong jewels
will have the opportunity to develop as: There is no competition for products
bearing characteristics, can be maintained and professional development path

product prices more expensive than other jewelry products difficult to
consume, markets rise and fall of raw materials affect the product.
Through the above analysis we would like to emphasize the opportunity to
develop jewels today. But jewels in Dinh Cong has been eroded and the
number of household occupation is very limited but there are still many
opportunities in order to continue to maintain and develop. Therefore, the
analysis of the development situation of jewels Dinh Cong today to help us
see the favorable factors and difficulties, opportunities and challenges for
professional development in the context of ongoing urbanization strong.
The above analysis also shows that opportunities to develop jewels not

jeweler Dinh Cong, but also depends on external factors impact on the job
makes silver more changes than before. These elements will be a challenge,
and an opportunity to craft silver can be maintained and developed in the
present context.
