The Kerala province located along India’s southwest coast is a charming and exotic place to visit, and now it’s the ideal vacation destination for diamond lovers, too. India based diamond jewelry manufacturer and retailer Sunny Diamonds recently launched Diamond Tourism packages. This concept was conceived by Sunny Diamonds’ CEO, P. P. Sunny. The idea is, offer a free vacation in exchange for the purchase of diamonds.
How exactly do Sunny Diamonds’ Diamond Tourism packages work? It’s basically a combination shopping and ultra-luxurious vacation tour deal. Visitors enjoy touring premier attractions throughout Kerala in all expense paid, truly spectacular vacations. All flight, hotel, resort and tour expenses are included in the “free” price of the tour.
The Price of Sunny Diamonds Free Tours
During their stay, they shop specially showcased diamond jewelry presented by Sunny Diamonds. Diamond purchases must total 3,000, 6,000, or 10,000 Euros, depending on the particular package booked.
All Sunny Diamonds tour packages include a 7 night, 8 day all expense paid luxury vacation, including stays at 5 star hotels and beach resort accommodations. Package 1 consists of a 3,000 Euro one carat diamond purchase. The one carat diamond jewelry is set in 8 grams of 18K white or yellow gold, and will be valued at 3,500 euros in Europe.
For package 2, tourists make a 6,000 Euro four carat diamond jewelry set in 32 gm of 18K white or yellow gold. The value of their purchase at European market value is 7,500 Euros.
The third package option entails a six carat purchase of diamond jewelry set in 48 gm of 18K white or yellow gold for 10,000 Euros, valued at 12,000 Euros in Europe.
For all packages, if jewelry valued at more is purchased, the expense-paid holiday is extended. If the value of the diamond purchase is less, the length of the free holiday stay is cut short.
With each package, the minimum number of diamonds per carat purchased is 15, and 14K gold settings are available upon request. Jewelry can also be custom made to order per designs supplied by the purchaser.
Added Diamond Tour Value: Price Advantage and Instruction
In actuality, the free vacation represents the cost advantage of purchasing locally manufactured jewelry (which features imported diamonds). Lower labor and less expensive overhead costs in India are the reason why the price advantage exists in India as opposed to locations in Europe.
Can buyers feel confident about the quality of the diamonds they purchase in Kerala on a Diamond Tour? Certificates from the Gemological Institute of America or GIA are presented to owners purchasing larger diamonds. Sunny Diamonds presents its own certificates for smaller stones.
P.P. Sunny insists he is committed to educating Diamond Tour travelers about all facets of learning to spot quality. Tourists are given a guided tour of Sunny Diamonds’ assembling unit and can watch exactly how diamonds are transformed into their final jewelry form. Regardless of which of the various tour packages travelers chose, the Sunny Diamonds’ manufacturing facility tour is included.
Premium Tour Packages
Although the diamonds may be the shining stars of Diamond Tourism vacations, the entire tour package is first class. Kerala is a beautiful and exotic destination sandwiched between the Arabian Sea to the west and the Western Ghats (mountain range) in the east. The climate is tropical, there are miles of serene beaches, and more than 44 rivers traverse the state in a sprawling network. The historic and cultural attractions in Kerala are intriguing, and the cuisine is delicious and exotic.
Diamond Tours include transportation to and from the airport, and visitors enjoy plenty of entertaining, relaxing and intriguing activities as well as leisure time throughout their tours. Two nights are spent in the cosmopolitan city of Cochin located on one of the most beautiful natural harbors on the Arabian Sea coast. Visitors take a city tour of a variety of cultural and historic attractions as well as their tour of Sunny Diamonds while in Cochin.
After a stay in Cochin, the tour features a combination of driving tours and cruises on houseboats that showcase some of Kerala’s most impressive countryside attractions, including the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary at Thekkady. and more relaxing time spent at a luxury beach resort in Kovalam, Varkala, or Marari.
To promote Diamond Tourism, special tourism outlets are being opened in various locations in Europe and are planned to be set up throughout the world. At these special outlets, prospective tourists can view a sampling of the diamonds offered for sale in Kerala and even book diamonds they are particularly struck with. However, they must travel to Kerala on a Diamond Tour in order to make their purchase. Sunny Diamond specializes in Belgium cut diamond jewelry, and their diamonds are specially sourced from Antwerp in Belgium.
