1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Brief
Gems and jewelry is an emerging sector of Pakistan with an immense export potential. In Pakistan the current level of trade, including the vast informal sector is expected to be more than $50 million annually. Most of the exports are in form of rough stones, mainly because of lack of sophisticated processing industry in the country.
The proposed project aims at filling this gap of value adding facilities in the gems industry. Financial analysis shows the unit making profit from the very first year. An enormous export market for the Pakistani gemstones exists in West Europe, USA and East Asia. It is of important significance that the gem industry and the Government of Pakistan are recognizing the potential in the local value addition and consequently import duty on lapidary equipment has been waived off.
This proposed unit with modern processing machines is an addition to a gems processing industry where dozens of small players are involved in cutting and polishing by simple and unsophisticated tools which are not preferred by many trader/exporters of gems
1.2 Opportunity Rationale
Pakistan is fortunate enough to be strategically located close to some of the major markets such as Thailand and Sri Lanka. Besides, it has one of the largest deposits of gemstone variety, including some highly priced and demanded gemstones like Emerald and Ruby. There is also availability of low cost labor compared to those in other countries.
There is no doubt that Pakistan has an enormous potential to increase its exports manifolds, and could become one of the major players in the $ 40.7 billion world market.
There is a large variety in gemstone deposits of Pakistan including Emeralds of Mingora, Gujar Killi and Shamozai, Pink and Golden Topaz of Mardan and Aquamarine of Chitral and Neelam Valley and Peridot of Dassu, which are well known for their color and clarity.
Pakistan’s Pink Topaz and Kashmir Ruby, are unique items all over the world, especially the Pink Topaz was considered as one of the second highest valued mineral, that was being smuggled to India in raw form, and then sold in the international market as a refined high cost item by India. Establishment of lapidary for cutting and polishing of gemstone, Topaz other precious minerals could alone increase yields from current $12 million to over $1billion.
Most precious stones, which were previously being exported from Kabul, are now believed to be going through Peshawar.
Pakistan has a potential yield of 800 thousand carats of Ruby, 875 thousand carats of Emerald and 5 million carats of Peridot, which lay unutilized.

1.3 Proposed Capacity
The feasibility study suggests an annual production 3300 units1/year.
1.4 Total Project Cost
The total project cost of this lapidary unit is Rs. 1.65 million. Out of which capital cost of the project is Rs 1.37 million and the rest is used to meet the working capital requirement.
1.5 Process Flow
The process of Lapidary includes grading, cutting and polishing of gemstones. Raw stones are either purchased from the market or collected from the customers. Individual stone is then examined (graded) and cut into smaller stones along its major line of fracture and inclusions. The smaller pieces are then mounted on cutting tools, which are then faceted on faceting machines. The final operation involves polishing of the faceted stones. Polished stones are then delivered to the customers or sold to the market.

2 CURRENT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
2.1 Existing Split of Industry
Main cluster of gemstone processors is in the Namak Mandi market in Peshawar. Moreover, Karachi also houses a large gem and gold jewelry making industry, catering to local as well as export markets. Lahore is another emerging market of gems and jewelry trade.
3 MARKETING
3.1 Export Market
Pakistan has emerged as the fifth largest country for the occurrence of gemstones on the world map. The total global gemstone exports for the year 2004 are $57954million, $48363 million in 2003 and in 2002 $ 46369 million..

The above table shows a significant increase in gems export from Pakistan during the last four years. Major buyers of precious and semi precious stones were Germany, Hong Kong, India, USA, Thailand, Netherlands and France etc.
3.2 Total market size and growth
While gemstone exports from Pakistan are increasing, the growth is insignificant compared to the large potential in the country. There is a need to increase not only the quantity of gemstones exported but also the quality. This can be achieved by developing a cutting industry in Pakistan to add value to the rough stones that are being exported.

7.1 Recommended mode for acquiring Land
The project should be started in a rented building. In this way, the initial capital cost of the project will be far less.
7.2 Suitable Location
The most appropriate location for setting up a gem lapidary would be Peshawar, since major trade/export is taking place in this city. Within Peshawar, Namak Mandi area is preferable as large gem cluster exists here. Similarly, Karachi, with its large gold and gem studded jewelry making industry, is another suitable location. Lahore can be another alternative for establishing this unit.

9 KEY SUCCESS FACTORS
The commercial viability of this Gemstone Lapidary depends primarily on theregular orders from the customers. Following are some other points that have to be ensured to make the business successful:
Availability of raw material (gemstones). Reliability and contacts with the traders. Proximity to the Gem cluster.
10 THREATS FOR THE BUSINESS
The main reason why Pakistan has not been able to boost its exports is due to lack of value addition. Small units of cutting and polishing are established in all cities of Pakistan, but their quality is not according to the international standards.
We do not have experienced cutters to use imported machinery and this is the reason that our cutting and polishing of precious stones are poor. Thus lack of adequate technical know-how is one of the major threats for this business.
The problem of irregular supply from the mines is also a major problem, which hinders the smooth operation of cutting and polishing units. The present world is demanding calibrated sizes of different shapes of oval, rounds, princess cut, etc. The local market is also highly developed, and on per capita basis, it is one of the strongest in terms of revenue generation in view of the importance given to jewelry in Pakistan.
For a business like a lapidary unit safety and security also acts as a major threat
11 REGULATIONS
The Government has decided to declare lapidary as cottage industry and to achieve $1 billion mineral export target by 2006 the government plans to spend $50,000 per annum for cutting, polishing and marketing of Gems, Topaz and other precious stones and metals. The amount of $50,000 would be spent for hiring expatriates and lapidary experts to impart training to local people to set up Gem Trade Centers in the private sector.
Under the present export policy, Government has allowed duty free imports of all the equipment, which are used in finishing process of gems and jewelry. This will definitely boost the exports of these two items.
