"Natural diamonds have always been an integral part of not only fashion but also Indian culture. The driving force behind making these jewels such an intrinsic part of our lives are the craftsmen and visionary designers who bring this sparkle alive. Indian artisans are recognized as amongst the best in the world and Forces of Fashion was the perfect way to encourage such conversations at a global level while also celebrating the impact of our country on the world of fashion."

"With CEPA, it means we can bring in jewellery from India into the UAE without the 5 per cent import duty. We are in a position to use that in adding new international markets as well as improve our retail presence in current markets such as the US. The intention is to bring in more semi-finished jewellery from our production facilities in India to the UAE, where we operates two plants in Sharjah. The value addition will be done there and those pieces will head into stores here and elsewhere."
