The “India Gallery” at the popular “Passport” venue in Mandalay Bay, showcases some of India’s finest jewels selectively handpicked by the Council.
GJEPC Chairman Praveenshankar Pandya said, “India is burgeoning with vibrancy, passion and dynamism creating a niche for itself. The rise in the percentage share of Indian gems & jewellery imports to the USA reflects the retailer’s and consumer’s growing interest for jewellery from India. Today India accounts for 23% of Jewellery imports by the USA. The platform like JCK Las Vegas plays an important role in further improving our trade relationship with the country.”
India today is undeniably the centre of gem & jewellery trade with total exports worth of US$ 38.44 billion recorded for the period Jan-Dec 2015 out of which a staggering US$ 8,706.59 million export were to the USA. Cut and polished diamonds exports accounted for US$ 6,381.06 million; Gold jewellery at US$ 1,681.62 million whereas exports of coloured gemstones recorded for US$ 82.73 million to the market. Keeping in mind the strategic interests of Indian gem & Jewellery products in the USA region, this year, GJEPC organized 4th India Diamond Week & the Indo-US Business Development Conference (BDC) last year. While the India Diamond Week focused on trading of loose diamonds, the Indo-US BDC brought together eminent speakers & Indian jewellery manufacturers on a common platform to share meaningful dialogues and explore business opportunities between the two partnering nations. The next India Diamond Week is scheduled on August 16, 2016 at Diamond Dealers Club, New York.
