WHY BUY JEWELLERY FROM SRI LANKA?

Although not as celebrated as the gemstones from Sri Lanka, the country’s jewelry manufacturing and retail industry also blend strong tradition with the latest technology and innovation, differing heavily from its counterparts in Asia, America, and Europe. The face of jewelry manufacturing in Sri Lanka varies from small work shops where gold jewelry is crafted by hand to modern factories where jewellers work at modern benches with a greater variety of tools and techniques working with a variety of precious metals other than yellow gold, including other gold alloys, silver and platinum.

At small workshops in Sri Lanka, craftsmen model jewelry by hand; sawing, bending with pliers, soldering with handheld gas torches or even blowpipes, and hammering; while at modern workshops designs were created with CAD/CAM and wax carving, mould making, and casting. Despite their greater difference, both ends serve Sri Lanka’s retail jewelry market sustained by a culture where jewellery is an essential part of the lifestyle, weddings and other special occasions.

Sri Lankan jewellery manufacturers have excelled the skills of combining coloured gemstones with intricate carvings in traditional and modern designs to suit the changing requirements and preferences of the global and local markets.
