JAS seems to be an exciting opportunity for colored gemstone dealers. Jaipur has always been one of the largest markets for colored gemstones, and I am sure the show will offer great business prospects for both buyers and suppliers. India is also home to various traditional styles of jewelry which are immensely popular around the world. In addition to this, Jaipur has also come up as a major market for high quality stone-studded jewellery in the last few years. I believe JAS 08 will offer visitors a glimpse into the upcoming trends and new business opportunities.

I extend my best wishes to the organizers of the show.
