Starting a jewelry business in Nepal can be a rewarding journey if you plan it right. Jewelry has always been a big part of Nepali culture—used in weddings, festivals, and daily wear. Whether you want to design modern jewelry or sell traditional gold and silver ornaments, this guide will help you understand the steps to start your jewelry business successfully.
1. Do Market Research
Before you start, learn about the jewelry market in Nepal.
Find answers to these questions:
- Who are your target customers—young people, brides, or daily wear buyers?
- What types of jewelry are most popular—gold, silver, diamond, or handmade designs?
- What prices are customers ready to pay?
You can visit local jewelry shops, browse online marketplaces, or survey potential customers to understand the demand.
3. Register Your Company
To run your jewelry business legally, you need to register your company with the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR) in Nepal.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Choose a unique name for your business.
- Prepare the required documents (like citizenship copies and Memorandum of Association).
- Register your company through the OCR website or visit their office.
- Obtain a PAN/VAT number from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

3. Get Necessary Permits and Licenses
You’ll also need local business licenses and tax registration.
If you deal in gold, silver, or gemstones, you might need special permission from the Department of Mines and Geology or the Nepal Rastra Bank for import/export activities.
4. Choose a Good Location
Location is key in the jewelry business.
Select a place with good foot traffic—like busy marketplaces, shopping malls, or near wedding shops.
If you plan to sell online, create a professional website and use social media platforms to reach more customers.
5. Find Reliable Suppliers
Your jewelry quality depends on your suppliers. Work with trusted goldsmiths, silversmiths, or wholesale suppliers. Always check purity, quality, and design before making bulk purchases.
6. Build a Brand and Market Your Jewelry
Branding helps your business stand out.
Choose a catchy name, design a logo, and use attractive packaging.
Promote your jewelry through:
- Facebook and Instagram ads
- Local exhibitions or jewelry fairs
- Influencer marketing or collaborations
Showcasing your jewelry online with clear photos and videos can attract a larger audience.
7. Manage Finances and Customer Service
Keep clear records of your sales, expenses, and inventory.
Offer excellent customer service—repairs, returns, and customization options make customers trust your brand and recommend it to others.
