Indian dealers bought at our grandfather's table in Galle in the 1950s, and India became our first export market in the 1980s. Today, Jaipur and Mumbai order from us regularly, and our parcels are judged by people who have handled stones all their lives.
Bangkok is the strictest colored stone market in the world. A supplier who overgrades does not last there. Thai buyers have known our family since the 1950s, and Bangkok still buys from us today.
Chinese wholesale buyers demand papers, consistency, and volume. We supply all three.
European buyers ask the hardest questions about origin and treatment, and European customs wants the cleanest papers. Our shipments already answer both.
One hard market can be luck. Four markets, across three generations, is a standard.
