- BY SAFNA MALIK

The annual three-day show is scheduled to take place from 3 to 5 January 2026, at Cinnamon Life, City of Dreams.

This collaboration will see the country’s most significant gem fair move to an elite venue, strengthening Sri Lanka’s position as a global luxury destination.

John Keells Group Head of Sales and Marketing/Vice President, Nadeem Shums said: “Real estate and jewellery have always represented more than luxury, representing permanence. A gem and a home hold stories, value, and emotion that are passed down from one generation to the next. At John Keells Properties, we craft spaces that endure, much like the masterpieces showcased at FACETS.”
