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.
La nostra eredità
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.
Chi siamo
A house rooted in the Ceylon gem trade
Reperiamo, classifichiamo e commerciamo zaffiri Ceylon naturali, e vi diciamo esattamente cosa ciascuno di essi sia.
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.

Ciò in cui crediamo
Gli standard a cui ci atteniamo
Come reperiamo, cosa dichiariamo e come trattiamo le persone dietro ciascuna pietra.
01
Direttamente dai minatori
Acquistiamo alla fonte, dai minatori su piccola scala che lavorano questi pozzi a mano, senza intermediari anonimi nella catena.
02
Un commercio equo
Il commercio Ceylon è artigianale per natura, lavorato a mano. Trattiamo in modo equo con i minatori e i tagliatori da cui acquistiamo.
03
Nulla di nascosto
Origine, trattamento e carattere di ogni pietra, dichiarati per intero e documentati.
“Commerciamo soltanto pietre di cui possiamo rendere conto, e descriviamo ciascuna per la sua origine, il suo trattamento ed esattamente ciò che è.”
Premadasa Gem & Jewellers
Domande
La casa e le sue pietre
Da dove provengono i nostri zaffiri, come trattiamo e perché il non riscaldato conta per noi.
Tre generazioni. La famiglia commercia zaffiri Ceylon da oltre cinquant'anni, dalla selezione del grezzo a mano alla casa su richiesta che siamo oggi.
