As we celebrate the 31st edition of Facets, Sri Lanka’s premier international gem and jewellery exhibition, I am proud of how this event, organized by the Sri Lanka Gem & Jewellery Association (SLGJA), has grown to represent all aspects of our trade—from mine to market. Over the past three decades, Facets has evolved into a vital platform, not only for showcasing the brilliance of our gemstones and jewellery but also for highlighting the craftsmanship, innovation, and dedication of everyone involved in this remarkable industry.

SLGJA remains deeply committed to upholding ethical practices, driving growth, and enhancing Sri Lanka’s global reputation as a leading source of some of the world’s finest gemstones. Facets serves as a pivotal bridge, connecting local talent with international buyers and creating unmatched opportunities to showcase the entire spectrum of our industry.

As we look ahead to Facets 2025, let us continue to honour our industry’s rich heritage and craftsmanship while steering it towards an exciting and prosperous future.

Warm regards,
Akram Cassim
Chairman, Sri Lanka Gem & Jewellery Association
