The many trade ties enjoyed by Sri Lanka with other countries have also helped boost the country’s gem and jewellery industry. It is in such a backdrop that local gem and jewellery authorities have planned and conducted many promotional campaigns in foreign markets while also participating in many foreign expositions to showcase the many high quality gem and jewellery products of Sri Lanka. Local gems that were known as Gems of Ceylon in the past have made their way to crown jewels in many Royal households in Europe. Known for its high quality and ethical standards, Sri Lanka’s gem and jewellery industry presents many business/investment opportunities. With the increasing focus on the industry by local authorities and the need for overall expansion have resulted in many business/investment opportunities.
