Organisers of an international gems and jewellery fair in Yangon this month say a boycott of precious stones from Myanmar by some luxury brands because of the crisis over Rakhine State is unlikely to have a significant impact on the industry. Yangon International Gems and Jewellery Fair 2018 is being hosted by the Gems and Jewellery Entrepreneurs’ Association (Yangon) at the Lotte Hotel from January 11 to 14. It will be the first such event to promote finished products, the organisers said.
