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.
Notre héritage
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.
À propos
A house rooted in the Ceylon gem trade
Nous sourçons, expertisons et négocions des saphirs de Ceylan naturels, et nous vous disons exactement ce qu'est chacun.
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.

Ce que nous défendons
Les exigences qui nous tiennent
Comment nous sourçons, ce que nous divulguons, et comment nous traitons avec ceux qui se trouvent derrière chaque pierre.
01
Directement des mineurs
Nous achetons à la source, auprès des petits mineurs qui exploitent ces puits à la main, sans intermédiaire anonyme dans la chaîne.
02
Commerce équitable
Le négoce de Ceylan est artisanal par nature, travaillé à la main. Nous traitons équitablement avec les mineurs et lapidaires auprès desquels nous achetons.
03
Rien de caché
Origine, traitement et caractère de chaque pierre, divulgués en intégralité et documentés.
“Nous ne négocions que des pierres dont nous pouvons rendre compte, et nous décrivons chacune par son origine, son traitement, et exactement ce qu'elle est.”
Premadasa Gem & Jewellers
