India's Gems Export Recovery and Historic Role in Natural Diamond Trade
India's gems and jewellery exporters faced a 45% drop in US shipments during 2025-26 due to tariffs and uncertainty, with natural diamond exports falling 60%. Recovery began in early 2026, aided by redirecting exports to markets like the UAE and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, India’s historic role as a primary diamond source dates back over two millennia, with regions like Golconda renowned for rare, high-purity diamonds that continue to influence global perceptions.
