Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying gemstones from Sri Lanka with us. If your question isn’t answered here, please get in touch.

Are your gemstones natural?

Yes. We deal only in natural gemstones of Sri Lankan origin. We do not sell synthetic, lab-grown or imitation stones.

Are your stones treated?

Many Sri Lankan sapphires are traditionally heated to improve colour and clarity, a widely accepted practice. Some stones are completely untreated. Whatever the case, we state the treatment status of every stone clearly before you buy.

Can I get a gemstone certificate?

Yes. On request, stones can be certified by a recognised gemmological laboratory, including the laboratory of the National Gem & Jewellery Authority of Sri Lanka or an international laboratory of your choice. We will advise you on the cost and timing.

How do I buy a stone?

Send us an enquiry about the stone you like, or describe what you are looking for. We will confirm availability, send additional photos or video if you wish, and agree the final price, payment and shipping details with you.

What does “on memo” mean?

Memo is a long-standing practice in the gem trade. Stones are sent to an approved trade buyer without payment in advance, for a set period, so that they can examine them or show them to their own clients. Stones not purchased are returned to us.

Who qualifies for memo terms?

Memo is available to established, reputable businesses in the jewellery and gem trade. Apply through our Memo Programme page and we will review your company details and references, then tell you whether you qualify.

Can you find a specific stone for me?

Yes. Tell us the variety, colour, size, shape and quality you need, along with your budget. We can source any gemstone that originates in Sri Lanka through our network of miners, cutters and dealers.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Stones are exported from Colombo with the required documentation and sent by insured, tracked courier. Import duties and taxes in the destination country are normally the buyer’s responsibility.
