A Family Gem House · Sri Lanka · Houston
Three generations of one family, cutting in Galle, Sri Lanka since the 1950s. We buy rough at the source, cut it in our own workshop, and grade every stone as if it goes to the lab next week. Since 2025 we quote and ship from Houston, in your time zone.
Dealers from India and Thailand first bought at our table in the 1950s. We began exporting in the 1980s, first across Asia and then to Europe, and opened Houston in 2025. We are licensed by the National Gem & Jewellery Authority of Sri Lanka.
The Direct Line
In Sri Lanka, our family buys the rough directly. In East Africa, our own agents buy it where it comes out of the ground.
Our artisans cut and polish every stone by hand in Gintota, on the Galle coast. Nothing is sent to outside cutters.
We are licensed exporters from Sri Lanka. Our Houston office, open since 2025, answers in your time zone and ships with full customs papers.
One family owns every step. So one family answers for every stone.
The Stones
We also cut yellow and pink sapphire, zircon, moonstone, and the wider garnet family. If Sri Lanka produces it, ask us.
How to Buy
Precious and semi-precious. If it comes out of Sri Lanka or East Africa, we can supply it, from one important stone to full production volume.
Center stones and important singles, chosen and cut on their own merits. For engagement work, one-off design, and collectors.
Sorted and graded parcels with depth in one color or variety. What we write on the memo is what arrives in the box.
Exact millimeter sizes, cut to order, consistent across the whole run. For production lines and repeat settings.
Begin
Choose a few stones or a small lot. Test our grading against your own standard. Then decide how far to take the relationship.
