From personal passion to a professional gemstone business.
I was born in Sri Lanka and have been living in Paris for a long time. Since my teenage years I have been interested in minerals and collecting them.
In 2015 I started my company and today we specialize in trading gemstones and minerals. Especially "Sapphire and Spinel" from Sri Lanka. We travel several times a year, mainy in Sri Lanka. As well we organise a gem expedition to Sri Lanka.
