The event will take place from 3 to 5 January 2026 at Cinnamon Life City of Dreams. This landmark edition of the exhibition is set to introduce a futuristic two-floor showcase that celebrates the country's unparalleled gem legacy and vibrant jewellery sector and reaffirms Sri Lanka's reputation as the true 'Island of Gems.'
