Stones are chosen by eye in Sri Lanka, judged on colour, clarity and character before anything else is decided. What we decline matters as much as what we take.
Unser Erbe
A Ceylon sapphire house in Sri Lanka
Sourcing, grading and trading the sapphires of Sri Lanka, with nothing hidden about where a stone comes from or what has been done to it.
Über uns
A house rooted in the Ceylon gem trade
Wir beziehen, klassifizieren und handeln natürliche Ceylon-Saphire, und wir sagen Ihnen genau, was jeder einzelne ist.
Premadasa Gem & Jewellers works where the stones are, in Sri Lanka, the island long known as Ceylon. Sapphires are selected by eye from the island's gem gravels and its cutters, judged on colour, clarity and character before any question of price.
Everything the house does is built on one discipline: describe a stone exactly as it is. Origin is recorded. Treatment is stated plainly, whether heated or unheated. Where an independent laboratory report exists, it travels with the stone.

How a stone moves
From the gem fields to your hand
Four stages, the same for every stone we handle, and documented at each step.
Cut
Cut and graded
Rough is cut and finished by lapidaries on the island, then graded on colour, clarity and proportion. The cut is judged on what it does for the colour, not on weight retained.
Document
Documented
Origin and treatment are recorded, and an independent laboratory report is available for every significant stone. Nothing is described as unheated unless a report supports it.
Present
Presented
The stone is offered on inquiry, in person or by video, with its record in full. There is no online checkout, and no published price to anchor your judgement.

Wofür wir stehen
Die Maßstäbe, an die wir uns halten
Wie wir beziehen, was wir offenlegen und wie wir mit den Menschen hinter jedem Stein umgehen.
01
Direkt von den Minenarbeitern
Wir kaufen an der Quelle, bei den kleinen Minenarbeitern, die diese Gruben von Hand bearbeiten, ohne anonyme Zwischenhändler in der Kette.
02
Fairer Handel
Der Ceylon-Handel ist von Natur aus handwerklich, von Hand bearbeitet. Wir verkehren fair mit den Minenarbeitern und Schleifern, von denen wir kaufen.
03
Nichts verborgen
Herkunft, Behandlung und der Charakter jedes Steins – vollständig offengelegt und dokumentiert.
“Wir handeln nur mit Steinen, für die wir geradestehen können, und wir beschreiben jeden einzelnen nach seiner Herkunft, seiner Behandlung und genau dem, was er ist.”
Premadasa Gem & Jewellers
Fragen
Das Haus & seine Steine
Woher unsere Saphire stammen, wie wir handeln und warum unbehandelt uns wichtig ist.
Sri Lanka. We select at the source, record each stone's origin, and name its specific locality where that is known and supportable.
