The Gemmologists Association of Sri Lanka (GASL), the only professional organization in the gem trade will hold their annual Gem Exhibition Jewels 2011 On the 17th and 18th of December at the BMICH SBMEC Auditorium. This will be an exhibition of Gems, Minerals, Jewellery and Gemmological equipment. The main aim of this exhibition is to enhance the knowledge of the general public on the various aspects of Gems and Gemmology.
This year too, there are competitions to select the Best Cut Gemstone, Gem Studded Jewellery, Crystal and Gemmological Photograph said Ruzwan Kamil, President, Gemmologists Association of Srilanka.
Once again, the Principal sponsor of this event is the National Gem and Jewellery Authority, who has made it possible to hold this exhibition, thus enabling GASL to achieve its goal of bringing Gemmology out of textbooks and making it a real time experience to the people of Sri Lanka.
Jewels 2011 will enable you to observe, buy and test all types of Gems and Jewellery under one roof. There will also be heat treatment demonstrations, modern and traditional gem cutting in action which will be a great experience to many said Geeth Gunathilake, chairman JEWELS 2011.
The main specialty in the show is that every visitor will be a proud owner of a valuable gemstone with a purchase of an entrance ticket to a nominal fee of 100 rupees. As a nonprofit making body the association spends a lot of money for this with the help of its well wishers to enhance the enthusiasm and the knowledge of the public on gems.
This event will attract a large crowd of gem enthusiasts, gem dealers, jewellers, lapidarists, collectors, students and the general public as a result of the previous successful exhibitions.
