US cos have big designs on Indian diamond jewellery


THE country's diamond processing sector may acquire a new sheen. Large US corporates running multi-billion dollar jewellery chains are increasingly eyeing India as a potential centre for outsourcing their production of diamond-studded jewellery.

Cheap labour and the traditional expertise in diamond processing among the artisans are the major factors that are prompting the US corporates to focus on India for jewellery production.

For its part, the gem and jewellery export industry, cottoning on to the increased US interest in this sector, is initiating measures to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to meet the diamond processing needs of the foreign companies and train artisans to learn the designs that the currently in demand in the West.

Although India occupies the top position in the world in small and low quality diamonds, it is yet to make a significant mark in the diamond-studded jewellery segment vis-à-vis the potential it has.

Take the cases of the $2.2-billion Sterling Zales and the US-based Walmart, which are in talks with the Mumbai-based Rs 528-crore Soundcraft Industries Ltd, the country' fourth largest exporter of processed diamonds, for setting up outsourcing facility here for production of diamond-studded jewellery.

"We are in the process of setting up a huge production facility here. We also intend to create a Rs 25-crore fund to enable SSIs in the diamond processing sector to set up small units as captive facilities for us. Once these infrastructure facilities are in place, we will have the final negotiations with the two US companies," Mr Raj C. Basantani, Chairman of Soundcraft, told Business Line.

Industry experts say that other US companies are also initiating talks with Indian companies in this sector. "It is vital for the local diamond processing industry to set up adequate infrastructure facilities to grab this potential market. China is also training people in diamond processing, but India has the advantage of being the largest producer of processed small to medium diamonds. At present, India accounts for over 55 per cent of the world production in value terms and 80 per cent in volumes," according to a industry analyst.

India, which currently exports $ 7.5 billion worth processed diamonds, is aiming at increasing its exports to $ 10 billion by 2007. After facing a brief period of sluggish trend, the export market for processed diamonds is now looking healthier in the wake of the appreciating rupee and the dissipation of the SARS scare.

"The recent SARS scare had affected our market in Hong Kong, which accounts for about 15 per cent of India's processed diamonds export market. Now that market has revived. Also, the rupee appreciation has brought down our cost of import, which accounts for 93 per cent of our cost of production. I see a healthy growth of 18 to 20 per cent for the industry this fiscal," says Mr Basantani.

Although the appreciation of the rupee against the dollar has thinned the export margins, this has been offset to a large extent by the reduction of import cost.

"The import cost has come down by about five per cent during the last few months. The industry has also been benefited by lowering of interest rates. Dollar borrowing now attracts 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent cost, while in rupee terms it is 8 per cent," an analyst pointed out.

Diamond with smudges, and clean diamond


Cleaning and maintaining diamond jewellery is important; even a small coating of soap, hand-cream or dust on the back of your diamond can diminish the sparkle immensely. Also, diamonds have a magnetic affinity for grease. (In fact, without this, we mightn't be able to mine for diamonds - grease is often used in mining to extract diamonds from mud. The downside of this is that if you even touch a diamond, you can see your fingerprint left behind). So keeping it clean will enhance the sparkle and keep it looking wonderful.

The first choice is always to take the diamond back to the jewellery shop - they have equipment specially for cleaning jewellery. They will also be able to check the condition of the ring, make sure that the claws are in good condition, and that there are no problems.

However, if this is not an option, then the following is the best way to clean your jewellery at home;

•Put some warm soapy water into a bowl/basin (do not use the sink, as accidents happen!)
•Using a soft toothbrush, brush gently at the back of the stone, trying to remove all the dust. It is possible to damage the claws when doing this, so be very gentle. If in doubt, go to your jeweller!
•Rinse with warm water.
Now check that the diamond is totally clean - look at it from above. A clean diamond will sparkle evenly all over. However, sometimes there are more stubborn particles that will not be removed so easily! This will be obvious if there are brushmarks visible. These are the sections that we not quite removed. The best thing to do is repeat the same procedure.

Other methods, such as using alcohol or gin, will not work as effectively. It is best to start off gently; I have seen people who have brushed too hard and knocked out stones!

Only a jeweller can really clean platinum, as a polishing motor is needed. But it can be improved at home quite easily. To clean the platinum, use a soft cloth with some mild metal cleaner - Silvo works very well. Apply with a cotton bud, then rub off with the cloth. The metal will be shinier. If it's still scuffed, bring it to a jeweller.

To clean gold, follow the same procedure as for platinum. Gold shines much easier than platinum, cleaning at home should be adequate. Remember to clean the metal before the diamond, as otherwise silver polish will get onto the stone.

With other gemstones, it is best to ask for professional advice; some, such as emeralds and opals, must never be cleaned with any products, even soapy water.

Diamond is the hardest substance known to man that occurs in nature. It is 10 times harder than the second hardest – corundum ( sapphire and ruby ). The word ‘diamond’ originates from the Greek word ‘adamas’ meaning unconquerable. This has given us the word ‘diamond’ through an old French translation but also ‘adamant’ and curiously enough the word ‘Dame’.

While studying for his honours degree Alan became fascinated by diamonds and assisted by two visits to the DeBeers sorting offices in London completed his final year thesis written on diamonds.

After graduating Alan was fortunate to be trained in the buying, grading, and sorting of cut gems by reputedly one of the top diamond specialists in Scotland. With his knowledge and understanding of diamonds Alan is widely revered within the diamond industry.

We hear today so much about the 4Cs of diamonds, but do you fully understand what the 4Cs stand for and the impact each has on the look of the stones.

When buying a diamond or diamonds from Alan P. Fulton, Alan will personally explain to you some of the finer details relating to the 4Cs. This we hope you will find both fun and educational.

Did you know ?

The first people to know and use diamonds were the Dravidians who lived in India around 700 – 800 B.C. It is from these people that we get the unit of weight – the CARAT – as apparently they thought diamonds grew in the ground like turnips and weighed them on their balance scales against the seeds of the carob tree which they called ‘cattie’ or ‘carat’.

The size of a diamond is regulated, not so much by its dimensions in millimetres, but by its weight. The carat weight of a diamond is the unit used and this unit of 1 carat is broken into 100 smaller units called points, hence 100 points makes 1 carat. As a unit of weight you will comprehend, 1 carat is equal to 0.2 grams.

At Bling & Things we understand that before you start shopping around for that perfect diamond you need to have an understanding of what you are buying. Our instore team can help you out with any Queries you may have about diamonds and our products. We have put together this simple guide to assist you when choosing that special diamond purchase. There are four main criteria to consider when buying your diamond these are cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight also referred to as the 4C's – This will enable you to select your diamond based on the same criteria jewellers use to grade them.
Colour-
Diamonds come in a range of natural colours and shades, from light yellow to totally colourless (which are the rarest and the most valuable).

Diamonds that have a natural colour, such as pink, blue or green, are also extremely rare and therefore very valuable. We do get these instore from time to time but be sure to them up as they do sell very quick due to them being rare

The alphabet is used as the grading scale for colour, starting with grade ‘D’, which denotes colourless, and moving through the alphabet as any colour becomes more and more visible.
Cut- The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance, dimensions and finish. A diamond that’s cut to good proportions handles light better, creating more brilliance and sparkle, therefore commanding a higher value.
Clarity- Clarity is graded based on the number, location, size and type of ‘inclusions’. These are nature’s birthmarks and are sometimes referred to as ‘flaws’.

Most diamonds contain miniscule inclusions that make each and every one unique.

These inclusions neither mar the beauty nor endanger the durability of a diamond, although a stone will sparkle more the fewer and smaller the inclusions are.
Carat- Like all precious stones, diamonds are weighed in carats. Originally, they were measured with carob seeds, and this may be where the word ‘carat’ comes from.

If you have a set budget, explore all your options and you will find that there is a wide range of diamond carat weights and qualities available in your price range. Then when your ready we can give you the best price that you have been looking for.
