returning to the pre-crisis level mainly due to soaring demand in India and China.
Russia is one of the world's main diamond suppliers. In the interview below, Valery

of the rebounding market on the Russian jewellery industry. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4gtm49n6&et=1106618581840&s=0&e=001eyhEJWP2SyDc9qBFmy02ifoLmXygo3Z1QdJPVZFFE7yXjVzlj9CjWJWJgVPnPmKs93oXFeHP-1bexYzUQfFuOTnOlOy0VKDGwCRX7td0wBH-qNuuii4lX_aNPuKT-6lSivGHlruvueT-ni6SREB-6HdPJAwft-xFoikwLRf6uoeuWe1wXuvpKBI12EbkGqa5alGXK8rEY38wrYJ3ky0m0Qu-9LbmQoB8tfclg--zkoA="
