1) The article discusses gold jewelry shops owned by Nepali immigrants in New Hampshire. It profiles two shop owners, Pradhan and Lama, who opened their shops after realizing there was demand yet no supply for gold jewelry catering to the Nepali community. 2) It describes the techniques and tools the shop owners use, and mentions there are now around 20 such shops across New England serving immigrants from Nepal, India, and Bhutan. 3) However, some customers have reported being scammed by being sold fake gold jewelry. In response, the Nepali community organization provided education on safety tips to prevent theft and verify authenticity when making purchases.
