The Colombo show is scheduled for the 2nd event after successful listing in the International calendar as an annual show. Sri Lanka needs well-organized trade fairs to help its traders and producers to establish direct contacts with the global market. The Colombo Show is expected to fulfill this. Until now, several companies in Sri Lanka did not have direct exposure to the outside market.

This show will be a gateway for them to diversify their sales strategies to the outside world. Many dealers have shown a keen interest in the event. This will provide a great opportunity to the Visiting Buyers to the widest array on display for the first time in Sri Lanka. One of the highlights of the show would be the exclusive pavilions representing the gem bearing & producing regions of the country.
The pavilions are expected to display collections of unique and special jewellery backed with a culture where jewellery has played an important role for many centuries.

Sri Lanka has so much to offer with its originality in the jewellery craft. The indigenous quality was preserved through a special jeweller's profession which was hereditary- passing down from father to son.
In a modern world where original arts and craftsmanship is highly valued, our show is designed to highlight some exclusive traditional jewellery to the visitors. Many jewelled articles with sapphires and rubies made by modern methods as well as handmade will be displayed at the show. This is the first international gem & jewellery trade fair Sri Lanka is having since September last year. In addition to the Sri Lankan exhibitors, the BIMSTEC group countries are also invited to display their products.

Thailand, Myanmar & India will be participating in the gem & Jewellery sections. The travel cum accommodation packages are extremely attractive & would provide a facilitated opportunity for the visitors to attend this fair.
About 700 registered exporters in Sri Lanka are expected to make their products available at this show.
