The UAE imported jewellery worth $3,372.87 million in 2006-07, a rise of 31.12 per cent over $2,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login,572.39 million last year.
Hence, jewellers have decided to export loose diamonds of large size and process them in the US for sales at competitive prices in the local market.
"The Indian diamond jewellery sector will not be affected at all by the GSP termination this year as the order-book position is full and cannot be revoked. But, next year, yes,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login," said Sanjay Kothari, chairman, Gems and Jewellery Exports Promotion Council.
The country's exports to the US are likely to decline dramatically in the next financial year from the current $4 billion as exports to the US will now attract a 6 per cent duty on jewellery from non-GSP countries, making Indian jewellery exports virtually non-competitive.
Meanwhile, the potential for jewellery sales growth in India is 26 per cent, while it is 20 per cent in China and 5-7 per cent in the US. The US still remains in the forefront of sales because of higher realisation.
The move follows anticipation of lower sales in the US market in the wake of the termination of generalised system of preferences, the US incentive that helped domestic jewellers boost exports to that country.
Talking about the sales potential in the Japanese market, Kothari said the country remained a lucrative market for high- and medium-value jewellery items.
Jewellery exporters scout for  new markets
Domestic diamond and gold jewellery exporters have started promoting sales in newer markets,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, including Japan and the CIS countries.
A majority of Indian jewellery exports to the US range between $100 and $500, which is considered as the mid-value segment. High-value jewellery ranging above $1,000 would no longer be attractive in the US, said an exporter.
"Therefore, we have started exploring new avenues to maintain our sales growth," he added.
Jewellery producers have outlined new sales structure in developing markets, including India and China, but these markets are not as remunerative as the US.
Meanwhile, leading exporters have already started feeling the heat as new orders for the Christmas season have dried up. Although the order flow for the Christmas season will start in a month, jewellery exporters have started pitching for fresh orders.
Under the GSP,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, India availed of 6 per cent duty rebate for jewellery exports to the US and the facility was extended periodically. The GSP expired on June 30 and the US government refused another extension.More articles related to topics：

India currently produces hardly 0.4% of its gold consumption despite having 9% of global gold reserves under the country's land mass. Though private entrepreneurs have come forward for reconnaissance, hardly less than 1% of them have come up to mining stage. This is mainly for want of latest technology, high risk capital etc.
The Indian government is taking all initiatives to channelise efforts in unearthing high value minerals like gold and diamonds. Despite abundant reserves of gold and other minerals, India imports Rs.65000 crore (Rs 650 billion) of gold per annum as against Rs.75000 crore (Rs 750 billion) of diamond imports.
Abundant gold reserves are found in India and that is why these companies are being roped in so that minimum 20,000 tonnes of gold and diamond is explored by 2010.
The overseas firms that are in talks with government for gold and mining exploration include Indogold,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, Anglo-American Gold Mining, Monarach Gold Mining,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, De Beers India Ltd., ACC Rio Tinto Exploration Ltd. and BHP Minerals.
The mines ministry has also allopwed the public sector company Hindustan Copper Ltd [Get Quote] to diversify into gold and diamond minings in collaboration with leading foreign companies through setting up of joint ventures with equal equity stake.
Currently, India is estimated to have 14,000 of gold and diamond reserves, which Reddy said should be accelerated by 20,000 tonnes in next 3 years.
Officials said the ministry has given a minimum time limit of 3 years to GSI.
Reddy's instructions come in the wake of plans that India is chalking to reduce the country's dependence on imported bullion, particularly when estimated reserves are expected in the identified states.
Officials said Minister of State for Mines, T Subbarami Reddy has asked the apex Geological Survey of India to explore additional reserves of gold and diamonds in states of Andhra, Karnataka,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, Madhya Pradesh,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, West Bengal, Rajasthan, Bihar and Chattisgarh.
India has asked its top geological agency to explore additional reserves of 20,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login,000 tonnes of gold and diamonds in several states in a bid to reduce the country's dependence on imported bullion.
Govt seeks to reduce dependence on bullion import
Analysts have predicted that the demand for gold was likely to rise further. The trend analysis indicates a consumption of 980 tonnes by 2010 and 1152 tonnes by 2015 from the current demand of 800 tonnes annually.

VHP wins, anti-Hindu forces lose: Togadia
Vishwa Hindu Parishad international secretary-general Praveen Togadia on Friday said that the successful completion of the 'shila daan' ceremony on schedule constituted a victory for the forces of Hinduism.
'Shila' refers to a carved stone pillar meant for the proposed Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Reading to the media from a prepared statement,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, Togadia said,You are not allowed to view links.

"Mahant Ramchandra Das Paramhans of the Ram Janambhoomi Nyas completed the 'shila daan' puja and formally handed over the 'shila' to Shatrughan Singh, in-charge of the Ayodhya Cell in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). At the same instant in time, in Ramkot immediately adjacent to the Ram Janambhoomi, the VHP established an identical 'shila' and carried out the puja,You are not allowed to view links.

"Those anti-Hindu forces that had tried to put obstacles, both legal and otherwise,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, in the way of Hindu aspirations have been frustrated," Togadia announced.
Togadia said that today's ceremony in Ayodhya was one more step towards the VHP's proclaimed goal of constructing a Ram temple at the Janambhoomi.
"The breaking of the locks, the 'shilanyas', the destruction of the Babri structure, and now the official handing over of the 'shila' to the central government representative of a symbolic beginning to the construction, are important steps towards our overall objective," Togadia said.

Around 500 forgiving fans,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, clad in blue France team shirts and waving national flags,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, crowded into airport arrivals on Wednesday to greet the national side, World Cup winners in 1998 but dumped out of the competition in the first round this week.
But the upbeat mood turned sour when only two members of the squad appeared. A Roissy airport spokeswoman said police, anxious about the size of the crowd, had ushered away the others for flights direct to their home towns.
"I was already disappointed by the defeat and now I'm even more disappointed," said disgruntled fan Stephane Faisy, 34.
"If they are not even prepared to meet their supporters who are here to encourage them after their defeat than that's a real shame," he added.
A sheepish Zinedine Zidane, the talismanic midfielder whose thigh injury kept him out of France's first two matches, slipped out of a side door and sped away from the frenzied crowd. Chelsea's Emmanuel Petit faced the fans, but he too was tight-lipped.
The event was a pale reflection of the heady triumph of July 1998, when a million delirious supporters came out to cheer "les Bleus" as they paraded down the Champs Elysees after winning the trophy.
Meliza Richer travelled from Nancy in eastern France to cheer home les Bleus, especially her favourite player Christophe Dugarry, and was bitterly disappointed they did not show up.
"I'm gutted. I thought I would go home having seen Dugarry... They had no right to do this," she said.
Earlier, fans sang the national anthem as they waited to thank the team, who dished up the worst performance of any defending champions, eliminated without scoring a goal in three matches against Senegal, Uruguay and Denmark.
"Whether they win or lose,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, we'll still root for the French team," said 16-year-old Alicia Coste, who had wanted her shirt signed by Zidane and goalkeeper Fabien Barthez.

Some fans and commentators have railed against arrogant and lazy players they say were more interested in juicy advertising deals than in playing football.
"They were at the top of the sport and had won everything, so maybe they did go out there thinking it was already sewn up," said 29-year-old Stephane Gantiez.
"But I've come here to thank them anyway because they did their best and they're great players."

Before we get into the exercises, let’s get one thing straight.  If you have a layer of fat around your midsection then you’ll never see your abs.  You could have the best six-pack in the world, but no one will ever know it if it’s obscured by fat.  If this is the situation you’re in,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, you need to first focus on losing fat by cleaning-up your nutrition and getting on a solid muscle building program.
With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s get to some ab-ripping exercises!
Exercise #1: V-ups
Lie on your back on a semi-soft surface.  A thin mat on a hard floor works well.  Straighten your legs and raise your arms overhead.  With your knees straight,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, raise your feet a few inches off the floor.  This is your starting position.
From this position you are going to simultaneously raise your legs up and sit up with your upper body.  This is basically a combination of a leg raise and a crunch.  In the top position you should touch your toes with your fingertips,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, or at least come very close.
From this position you reverse the motion and go back to the starting position.  Remember that in the starting position your feet are off the floor.  This keeps constant tension on the muscles, making this exercise even more effective.
Exercise #2: Hanging Knee Raises
You’ll need a chin-up bar or other object you can hold on to without your feet touching the floor.  Your starting position is simply hanging from the bar with your arms straight.
From this position, bend the knees and bring them up towards your chest.  You want to bring your knees as high as possible.  In fact, if you are strong enough you should curl up into a ball by leaning back slightly and bringing the knees up as high as possible.
Don’t make the mistake I see most people in the gym making.  Most people bring the knees up and then stop when the thighs are parallel to the floor.  If you do it this way you only get about 10% of the benefit from the exercise!
When you get really advanced you can do these with the knees straight.  From the starting position you raise your feet up all the way until they touch the chin-up bar.  You should see the looks you get at the gym when you do these!
Exercise #3: Ab Wheel Rollouts
Remember those “ab rollers” that used to be on all the late-night infomercials?  Well, these were just knock-offs of the old school ab wheel you can buy for $10 at any fitness store.  If you haven’t seen this before it just looks like a small wheel with a stick through it.  If you can’t find one of these,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, you can simply use a bar with a plate on each side.
Kneel on the floor with the ab wheel in front of you.  Hold on to the handles and put the wheel on the floor directly in front you.  From here you simply roll the wheel out as far away from you as possible.
The key here is to make sure you don’t roll-out so far that your back arches.  If your abs aren’t very strong then you won’t be able to roll-out very far without this occurring.  This puts all the stress on your lower back and off of your abs.  This is dangerous and ineffective.  Only go as far as your current abilities will allow you to maintain the proper position. 
When this becomes easy,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, you can move on to the super-advanced version.  For this version you stand on your feet and bend-over to hold the handles of the ab wheel.  From this position you roll-out as far as possible.  This is much more difficult from the kneeling version.
Summary
These exercises should be complimented by a well-designed muscle building program for the entire body.  Remember that one exercise isn’t the answer to achieving your goals.  A complimentary training and nutrition program must be designed with your goals in mind.
