A Celebration of Gemstones

Sri Lanka now, is the Ceylon of old, the source where mythical sparkling, precious gems of untold beauty, rarity and priceless value were found.
Yes, they do exist still. Those who wish to own such a treasure find their way to Beruwala, located in the southern part of this little island. It is the world’s oldest open-air gem market, once a part of the historical China Fort.
Be they tourists, traders, international business tycoons or travel writers from the US, China, Europe, Africa, India etc that this seaside town attracts, its reputation is guaranteed as a safe, trustworthy hub in which to do the delicate business of gem trading. State-of-the-art gem-cutting, heating and polishing ensures the enhanced beauty of the stones. Equipped with gem testing labs of international standard, accurate identification and certification of each gemstone is assured.
Gems are not only sourced locally and directly from the mines but also the high risk-takers travel to African countries to source their best stones and add value under their expert hand.
